Directions
Bring some water and a splash of olive oil to a boil in a pot over medium-high heat. Once it’s bubbling, toss in the noodles and cook them for about 3 minutes, giving them a stir now and then so they don’t stick. Next, pour in the vegetable broth along with the chopped carrot, and let everything cook together for another minute while stirring. Add the green bell pepper, celery, and a good splash of soy sauce, then bring the soup back up to a boil and let it cook for one more minute. Finally, sprinkle the chopped green onions over the top before serving.
Best Ways To Serve
Serve the soup hot with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro on top. It pairs wonderfully with crusty bread or a simple green salad for a complete meal. A squeeze of lemon can also brighten up the flavors just before serving.
How To Store Leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. When reheating, add a splash of water or broth to loosen the soup if it has thickened. This soup also freezes well, but cook the noodles fresh when ready to eat for the best texture.
