Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 bunch scallions; whites cut into 1/4-inch pieces,greens cut into 2-inch pieces

1 tablespoon minced peeled ginger

1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce

1/2 teaspoon sugar

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

4 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and sliced

1/4 cup cornstarch

2 plum tomatoes, cored and cut into large chunks

12 ounces firm white fish (such as pollock), cut into 1-inch pieces

6 ounces bay scallops

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Directions

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the scallion whites and cook until slightly tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the ginger and cook about 1 minute. Add 7 cups water, the soy sauce, sugar, salt to taste, 3/4 teaspoon pepper and the mushrooms. Cover and bring the broth to a simmer. Mix the cornstarch with 1/4 cup cold water and gradually stir into the broth. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring; the broth will thicken slightly. Add the scallion greens, tomatoes and white fish to the broth, and simmer until the fish is opaque, about 3 minutes. Add the scallops, vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste (the scallops will cook instantly from the heat of the soup). Ladle into bowls.

Wow this tastes as awful as it looks. There is zero flavor--It tastes like water and cornstarch. I suppose I could have quadrupled the seasoning and only add 4 cups of water instead of 7 and maybe the soup would be edible. But unfortunately, following the recipe had me create a whole pot of dishwater-soup that hopefully the garbage disposal won't throw back at me when I dump it.
