Healing Turmeric Noodle Soup (20 Minute!)

This EASY, 8-ingredient golden noodle soup has become a bit of an obsession in our household. The recipe was unexpectedly born last month when I was very much under the weather. I wandered downstairs to find something healing & soothing (and most of all QUICK to make). In my mentally groggy state, I literally just started chucking stuff into the pot. Turmeric? Yep. Ginger? Definitely. Noodles? Oh yes. Somehow the warm, brothy concoction ended up being exactly what I needed. Like a magical, golden elixir ✨ It felt so good and nourishing I recreated again it the next day. And the next. Then my husband asked how I made it so he could start making it too. We couldn't get enough of that flavorful garlic-ginger-miso-infused broth. The funny thing is I kept craving it long after the sickness was gone... and here we are! Cold & flu season or not, I really love the strong flavors and nice "spicy" kick (not to mention all the anti-inflammatory, immune-boosting benefits.) Plus it's an incredibly versatile recipe - leave out the noodles and make it more brothy, add more ginger/garlic, more fresh greens, or a tofu/mushroom boost! I make it a little different every time and have so much fun with

Ingredients

• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 2 oz. pasta (I use quinoa & brown rice spaghetti noodles)
• 3-4 cloves garlic
• 1 to 1 1/2 inches fresh ginger (at least 1 Tbsp. grated)
• 2 Tbsp. white miso paste
• 1 tsp. turmeric (more to taste)
• 1 1/3 cups peas (I use frozen)
• 1 cup fresh baby spinach

Directions

1. In a large saucepan over high heat, pour vegetable broth and bring to a boil.
2. Meanwhile, mince garlic and grate ginger. (I use this microplane grater for ginger.)
3. When broth is boiling, add garlic, ginger, miso*, turmeric, peas, and pasta (if using spaghetti noodles, I like to break them up in smaller pieces before adding).
