This sounds good to me. I like Daikon and often cook red radishes in
pot roasts and stews in place of potatoes since they are lower in carbs:

I have some red radishes that are past their prime in the fridge. I
never thought of using them for soup. Do you think they would work?
(I'm not even pretending it would be the same)

I may try it for lunch; with beef bouillon for the broth, red pepper
flakes, garlic, onions, and shredded cabbage...

I always have daikon on hand and frequently add it to soups.

Couldn't hurt. The flavor of red radishes (ime) is slightly stronger
than Daikon, but I really do like cooked radishes.

It also makes for good crudites.

I actually made it a little closer to the recipe; I found some Knorr
vegetable bouillon cubes in the pantry, so I used that for the broth.

The radishes were pretty nasty, so I had to trim and peel them, but I
ended up with enough to make soup with 2 cups of broth instead of 3.
They didn't smell very good when I first started sauteing, but they got
over it quickly. I used some dried shallots from the Asian market
instead of green onions, a sliced fresh cayenne pepper, and when it was
almost done I added a handful of thin sliced cabbage. I used peanut oil
(as little as I could get by with) to sauté the radishes and pepper
instead of sesame oil, but I added a drop of roasted sesame oil when I
served it.

Very good soup, and more filling than it should be for having so few
calories. I'll make this again.
