Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 carrots, sliced thinly
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 6 ounces rice noodles
  • 2 cups spinach or kale
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: Sliced green onions and chili flakes for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté for 5 minutes until translucent, allowing natural sweetness to bloom.
  2. Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and aromatic.
  3. Add sliced carrots and celery to pot. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are just tender but still retain structure.
  4. Pour in vegetable broth, then whisk in turmeric powder, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Increase heat to bring mixture to rolling boil.
  5. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and deepen.
  6. While broth simmers, prepare rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside in warm bowl to prevent sticking.
  7. After 10-minute simmer, add spinach or kale to pot. Let greens cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted and blended into broth.
  8. Taste broth and adjust with salt and pepper as desired, ensuring each sip is perfectly balanced.
  9. Place nest of cooked rice noodles in individual bowls. Ladle hot broth and vegetables over noodles.
  10. Garnish with fresh cilantro and, if desired, sprinkle of sliced green onions and chili flakes for extra flavor and color.

Notes

  • Fresh ginger is essential for bright, zingy flavor that dried cannot replicate.
  • Store broth and noodles separately to prevent noodles from becoming soggy.
  • Can add tofu, chicken, or shrimp for extra protein.
  • Mushrooms or bok choy make excellent vegetable additions.
  • Use low-sodium broth to control saltiness.
