Vegan Spicy Soba Soup

If you want a nice change of pace for a soup with Asian flavors, try this soup.  As much as I love ramen noodles, I equally love soba noodles.  If you haven't tried them, they are thicker and more dense, but have an awesome texture and flavor.  This soup is very easy and affordable.  I hope you enjoy this vegan soup!
