Here’s a quick and easy recipe that’s nourishing and warming on colder days. A hearty spicy noodle soup with warming spices and lots of goodness. It’s takes less than 10 minutes to prep and about 25 mins to cook. Perfect for midweek lunches or easy dinners.
Finely chop the onion, carrots, garlic, ginger and chilli. Heat up the oil in a large pan. Add the chopped onion, carrots and salt and sauté for 7-8 mins. Add the garlic, chill and ginger for the last 2-3 mins.
Add the spices and tamari and cook for another minute or two.
Add the stock, milk and chickpeas and bring to the boil. Turn down the heat and add the vermicelli. Simmer for about 5-6 minutes until the noodles are cooked
Stir in the spinach for a minute or two until wilted. Season to taste and add a squeeze of lime and some fresh coriander (and extra chilli if you like it hot).
Notes
The soup thickens the longer you leave it. You may want to add more stock if you are cooking in advance and reheating.
It freezes very well and will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.
