Ingredients

• 6 cups vegetable broth (low sodium)
• 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons red chili paste (adjust to taste)
• 7 ounces rice noodles
• 1 medium carrot, julienned
• 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 2 cups baby spinach
• 2 stalks green onions, sliced
• 1 medium lime, for juice
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional, for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot, bring the vegetable broth to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the grated ginger, minced garlic, low-sodium soy sauce, and red chili paste to the broth. Stir well and allow to simmer for 2-3 minutes to let the flavors combine.

Step 3

Add the rice noodles to the pot and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Once the noodles are almost done, add the julienned carrot, sliced red bell pepper, and baby spinach to the pot. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still retain their bright colors.

Step 5

Turn off the heat and squeeze the juice of one lime into the soup. Stir well to incorporate.

Step 6

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding a touch more red chili paste for extra spice or a dash of soy sauce for saltiness.

Step 7

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions, a drizzle of sesame oil (if using), and chopped fresh cilantro.

Step 8

Serve hot and enjoy your low-fat spicy noodle soup!
