Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups vegetable broth (low sodium)
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons red chili paste (adjust to taste)
- 7 ounces rice noodles
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
- 1 medium lime, for juice
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large pot, bring the vegetable broth to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
Add the grated ginger, minced garlic, low-sodium soy sauce, and red chili paste to the broth. Stir well and allow to simmer for 2-3 minutes to let the flavors combine.
Add the rice noodles to the pot and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 5-7 minutes.
Once the noodles are almost done, add the julienned carrot, sliced red bell pepper, and baby spinach to the pot. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still retain their bright colors.
Turn off the heat and squeeze the juice of one lime into the soup. Stir well to incorporate.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding a touch more red chili paste for extra spice or a dash of soy sauce for saltiness.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions, a drizzle of sesame oil (if using), and chopped fresh cilantro.
Serve hot and enjoy your low-fat spicy noodle soup!
