Author Notes: Hot soup reminds me of being wrapped in a warm blanket by my mom, as I stay home sick from school. These fresh vegetables and spices are a slightly “gourmet” take on the Campbell’s noodle soup my mom served me, in hopes of ridding the flu. —Miachel Breton
Serves: 4
Ingredients
-
1/2
large red onion
-
4
small garlic cloves
-
1
inch knob of ginger
-
2
teaspoons salt
-
6
cups vegetable broth
-
1
bay leaf
-
1/2
teaspoon cumin
-
3
celery stalks
-
3
large carrots
-
4
ounces whole wheat pasta
-
1/8
cup fresh parsley
Directions
- Rinse off all the vegetables under cold, running water.
- Now prep the ingredients. Dice the onion, finely mince the garlic and ginger, chop the celery and carrot into 1/4-in chunks, and coarsely chop the parsley.
- Gently warm up the olive oil in a large pot. Saute the onion, garlic, and ginger for 5 minutes over medium heat, or until the onion turns translucent. Add in the broth (or 6 cups of water, and 1/8 cup of vegetable bouillon), salt, bay leaf, and cumin; turn up the heat and bring to a slow boil.
- Toss in the celery, carrots, and noodles. Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook for 8 minutes – or until vegetables are soft and pasta is al dente. Sprinkle in parsley, and serve in warm bowls. Enjoy!
