Nourishing Noodle Bowls

I created this recipe a few years back to replace our cravings for Vietnamese Pho that we used to order out in restaurants.  While the healing broth doesn’t incorporate all typical Pho ingredients, this bowl is super comforting and quick to throw together while offering many healing benefits.

Nourishing Noodle Bowls

(Gluten-Free, soy-free, oil-free, fat-free)

Ingredients: 

• 1 batch of the Medical Medium Healing Broth (See my previous blog post for recipe. Easiest to freeze and have ready to go for meals) 

• 7 oz gluten free glass sweet potato noodles (or gf millet and brown rice ramen works, too) 

• 2 medium broccoli crowns, chopped 

• 1/2 red or green cabbage, chopped

• 8 oz mushrooms, chopped (I prefer shiitakes) 

• 4 carrots, chopped 

  
  Garnishes (all optional):

  • handful of fresh basil, chopped

  • handful of fresh cilantro, chopped 

  • lime wedges 

  • 3-4 green onions, chopped 

  • 1/4 white onion, sliced

  • pinch of red pepper flakes or sliced hot peppers 

  • a few dashes of coconut aminos or maple syrup

Directions: 

1. Water sauté veggies in a large pan until soft and cooked through.  Set aside. 

2. Cook noodles according to package instructions and strain.  While noodles are cooking, reheat the healing broth.  

3. Assemble bowls by adding noodles, veggies, healing broth and optional garnishes.  

4. Enjoy this comforting, nourishing and immune-supporting noodle soup!  Serves 3-4.  

Tip: If you like more of a pho taste, I recommend simmering or reheating the healing broth for 10 minutes with a star anise pod to give it even more flavor.
