PREPARATION:

For Stock

Place all the trimmings and the vegetables in a large pot. Add the water and herbs, and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes, skimming to remove any foam that rises to the surface.
Remove from the heat and strain through a fine mesh strainer into a clean container.
Use immediately, or cool in an ice bath, then refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days. (The stock can be frozen for up to 3 months.)

For the Soup

Return the strained stock to the heat and add fresh carrots, onion, celery, shiitake mushrooms, green onions, ginger, edamame, garlic, sliced Napa cabbage, soy sauce and sesame oil. Top with cellophane noodles and bean sprouts. Simmer for about 10 minutes, until cooked through.
