Instructions

1

Prep the vegetables

Wash and dice the vegetables into small, even pieces so they cook quickly and evenly.

10 min
Keep the dice small so the soup stays easy to eat with noodles.
2

Build the base

Heat the oil in a pot and sauté the onion, carrot, bell pepper, and garlic until fragrant and lightly softened.

Do not brown the garlic too much or it can turn bitter.
3

Simmer the soup

Add the broth, tomato, salt, and black pepper, then simmer until the vegetables are tender and the flavors meld.

10 min95°Ctimer 10 min
A gentle simmer keeps the vegetables intact and the broth clear.
4

Cook the noodles

Add the rice noodles to the simmering soup and cook just until tender, stirring gently to separate them.

5 min95°Ctimer 5 min
Check the noodles early; overcooking will make them soft and sticky.
5

Finish and serve

Taste the soup, adjust seasoning if needed, and serve hot with scallions on top if using.

3 min
Let the soup sit for 1 minute before serving so the noodles settle in the broth.

Storage

Fridge: 3 days
Freezer: 2 days
Reheat: Microwave 2-3 minutes or reheat gently on the stove over medium heat.

Store noodles and broth together for convenience, but the noodles will soften over time. For best texture, reheat gently and add a splash of water or broth if needed.

Notes

This recipe is based on the visible appearance of a light noodle soup with mixed vegetables.

You can add mushrooms or a small amount of tofu for extra body if desired.
