Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the rice noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.
In a large pot over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped onion. Sauté for about 2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and the onion is translucent.
Add the sliced carrots, red bell pepper, and shiitake mushrooms to the pot. Stir frequently and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.
Pour in the low-sodium vegetable broth and increase the heat to bring the soup to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to low and add the soy sauce or tamari, lime juice, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
Add the baby spinach to the pot and stir until wilted, about 1 minute.
Divide the cooked rice noodles evenly among serving bowls.
Ladle the hot soup and vegetables over the noodles in each bowl.
Garnish with fresh cilantro, sliced green onions, and a sprinkle of chili flakes if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy your sugar-free rice noodle soup!
