Steam *Edamame Pods (buy frozen at the supermarket -near the peas usually)

Put the pods into the Varoma tray and cook on Varoma temperature at the same time as the soup is cooking.

You could make dumplings in the Varoma while making the soup too.

* Edamame are a high source of protein and that’s why I often add them to the soups I make as an accompaniment.
