I’ve been craving for hearty, warming noodle soup ever since I enjoyed a lovely bowlful of pho in a random café in London few months ago. After doing a fair share of research on how to replicate this yumminess at home, I came to conclusion that doing it by all the rules would be wayyyy too time consuming for someone who has the attention span of a 5-year-old…
Also, the list of ingredients just seemed a bit too overwhelming and after all, I want to keep things simple & easy here in the blog. I don’t want anyone to miss out a yummylicious recipe because the ingredients were too expensive or difficult to find!
So, I shall introduce you to a simplified version of a spicy vegan noodle soup. I ditched the most adventurous ingredients and went a little crazy with Sriracha instead. I also put my favorite veggies, bok choy & fresh kale in the soup, but you can totally do you and use broccoli or shaved carrots or anything that floats your boat. All in all I think this is the best part of the recipe: it’s simple and you can modify it almost endlessly if you don’t an exact ingredient hand or prefer to leave out something! As long as you keep the broth & noodles in, you won’t be let down. The end result will be a relaxed pho-like noodle soup that’s warm and filling and sure to keep you satisfied for hours.
Kindly note if you want to recipe to be gluten-free, you should use tamari instead of soy sauce and 100% buckwheat soba noodles. Any additional questions or concerns, hit the comment box and I’ll get back to you in no time.
