Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Cut the onion in half and place face down in the pot. Char it along with the ginger slices for about 5 minutes, flipping midway through.
Add garlic, star anise, cinnamon stick, and cloves; toast stirring for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken or seafood broth and add fish sauce.
Bring the broth to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Partially cover and let it simmer for 30 minutes.
Remove the aromatics and spices from the broth with a slotted spoon.
While the broth simmers, spiralize the carrots and zucchini using a spiralizer to make noodles.
Season the broth with salt and pepper to taste. Add shrimp and cod pieces, poach in the broth until cooked through, about 3-4 minutes.
Squeeze lime juice into the broth, then add spiralized vegetables just to warm them up.
Ladle the soup into bowls, ensuring each serving has an ample amount of seafood and vegetable noodles.
Garnish with fresh mint, cilantro, bean sprouts, sliced green onions, and jalapeño slices.
Serve immediately with extra lime wedges on the side.
