Ingredients

Broth Base

  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Vegetables

  • 2 carrots, sliced thinly
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 2 cups spinach or kale

Noodles & Garnishes

  • 6 ounces rice noodles
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Optional: Sliced green onions and chili flakes for serving

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent, developing a sweet and fragrant base.
  2. Add Garlic and Ginger: Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until they release their aromas and infuse the oil.
  3. Cook Vegetables: Add the sliced carrots and celery to the pot and cook for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the vegetables start to soften but remain slightly crisp.
  4. Add Broth and Seasonings: Pour in the vegetable broth, then add turmeric powder, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
  5. Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the broth simmer gently for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and deepen.
  6. Prepare Rice Noodles: While the broth simmers, cook the rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside, ready to serve.
  7. Add Leafy Greens: After simmering, add the spinach or kale to the pot, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the greens are wilted and tender.
  8. Season to Taste: Taste the broth and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed to suit your preference.
  9. Serve: Place a portion of cooked rice noodles into serving bowls. Ladle the hot broth with vegetables over the noodles.
  10. Garnish: Top with fresh cilantro, and if desired, add sliced green onions and a sprinkle of chili flakes for extra flavor and heat.
