Whole Health Noodle Soup Recipe

I know you guys know I like my noodle bowls, but this week, I’ve been feeling something else – noodle soup! And by the way, is it just me, or do the words “noodle soup” conjure up memories of Joey on Friends? “Mmm…soup…I mean noodle soup! I mean soup!” Oh Joey…Keep reading for my Whole Health Noodle Soup Recipe

I’ve been a bit under the weather this week, so I’ve had a big, hot, comforting bowl of noodle soup every day for lunch this week so far.

I love them because they’re so easy to throw together and taste great. They even use a lot of pantry ingredients (boxed broth, dry noodles, long-storing tofu, and you could probably use frozen vegetables, though I prefer fresh).

I’ve made a few variations this week – all using tofu because it was easier to cook than meat since I basically just warmed it through in the last couple minutes of cooking. But, you could easily cook chicken, etc. in the broth, or even saute it in a separate pan and add it to the soup (or even serve it on top!).

Today I tried a new type of noodle – spelt (love!) soba. I thought they were really good, not that they were all that different from other soba (or even udon) noodles. I’ve found the Eden Organic brand noodles to be a bit thicker than some others, so they take about twice as long to cook and will yield a different texture. There are other brands that cook faster if you’re in even more of a rush. Honestly, I usually just buy whichever one is on sale.

Whole Health Noodle Soup Recipe

  • Prep Time: 5 mins
  • Cook Time: 15 mins
  • Total Time: 20 mins
  • Yield: 1 1x

Description

One big bowl of noodle soup is sure to comfort a sore throat, warm you from the inside, and just make you feel better overall. But, you don’t need to be sick to enjoy this dish. Noodle soup makes a great light lunch or dinner when you want something small, stress-free, and/or quick.
Overall cook time will depend on how long your noodles take. The ones I used for this recipe cook in 8-10 minutes, so adjust cooking time as needed.
*Vegetarian* *Vegan*


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups broth (vegetable – or chicken if you want to go non-vegetarian/non-vegan)
  • 1/2 cup water (or just use more broth)
  • 1/2 a bunch of soba/udon noodles
  • 13 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1/81/4 cup onions, chopped
  • 1/21 cup broccoli florets, cut into small pieces
  • 1/41/2 cup fresh baby spinach
  • 1/41/2 cup tofu
  • 1 teaspoon – 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • fresh cracked black pepper
  • sesame seeds, optional

Instructions

  1. Pour broth and water into a small/medium pot and bring to a boil.
  2. Add onions and garlic. Add noodles, gently pushing dry noodles into the broth. Set timer for recommended cook time following package. Note: The package I used had a cook time of 8-10 minutes
  3. With 4 minutes left on the timer, add broccoli and stir into soup.
  4. With 2 minutes left on the timer, add spinach, tofu, and 1 teaspoon soy sauce.
  5. Cook until spinach is wilted and tofu is warmed through (this should be done in the 2 minutes remaining on the timer). Taste test and add additional soy sauce for more of a salty flavor and add pepper as you like.
  6. Pour into a large bowl. Garnish with sesame seeds, if you want. Serve and enjoy.

Notes

Note: The noodles I usually purchase are typically packaged with three “bunches” in one package. I usually use about 1/2 a bunch for one serving. This is about 1/4 to 1/2 inch diameter worth (hold in one hand to measure).

Dear noodle soup, I love you. <3

Whole Health Noodle Soup Recipe

Hubby brought home a snack for me today – a pumpkin scone from Starbucks. I really liked the flavor, but thought the icing was a little overwhelming in sweetness levels. I prefer how they do the icing drizzle on their cinnamon scones. Anywho, I’d really like to try to make some pumpkin scones from scratch some time. They’d be a great brunch item for this time of year.

But uber-sweet or not, I thought the scone was very thoughtful. 🙂 Thanks hubby!
