It felt so good and nourishing I recreated again it the next day. And the next. Then my husband asked how I made it so he could start making it too. We couldn’t get enough of that flavorful garlic-ginger-miso-infused broth. The funny thing is I kept craving it long after the sickness was gone… and here we are, still making it.
Cold/flu season or not, I really love the strong flavors and nice “spicy” kick (not to mention all the anti-inflammatory, immune-boosting benefits.) Plus it’s an incredibly versatile recipe – leave out the noodles and make it more brothy, add more ginger/garlic, more fresh greens, or a tofu/mushroom boost! Hope you enjoy it too. Be well 💛
Healing Turmeric Noodle Soup
Ingredients
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 oz. pasta (I use quinoa & brown rice spaghetti noodles)
- 3-4 cloves garlic
- 1 to 1 1/2 inches fresh ginger (at least 1 Tbsp. grated)
- 2 Tbsp. white miso paste
- 1 tsp. turmeric (more to taste)
- 1 1/3 cups peas (I use frozen)
- 1 cup fresh baby spinach
- Optional additions: black pepper, kale, green beans, broccoli, tofu, mushrooms, green onion, etc.
Instructions
- In a large saucepan over high heat, pour vegetable broth and bring to a boil.
- Meanwhile, mince garlic and grate ginger. (I use this microplane grater for ginger.)
- When broth is boiling, add garlic, ginger, miso*, turmeric, peas, and pasta (if using spaghetti noodles, I like to break them up in smaller pieces before adding).
- Return to a light boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes or until pasta is cooked.
- Stir in spinach during last minute of cooking.
- Taste and add additional miso (for saltiness) if desired.

I'm going to try this – sounds delicious! I am lucky that I haven't been ill so far this winter . . fingers crossed. I love Turmeric though, for its anti-inflammatory qualities and as a distance athlete I am always fighting inflammation. This sounds so healing and delicious!
Hope you enjoy Terri! And stay healthy!! Lots of weird stuff going around this year it seems. Turmeric really is wonderful – I just made another batch of this a couple days ago 🙂 Have a beautiful week!
Perfect timing! I'm dealing with a broken wrist right now. Really need something I can put together with one hand and that helps with inflammation. I made this as soon as the email arrived in my inbox.
Hi Nicola! Ouch! Hopefully you could manage to make this with one hand. Sending lots of healing your way and hope you enjoyed the soup. Take good care! -Kaitlin
I made this recipe last night and it was SO good! I doubled it so that we could have leftovers throughout the week and I added tofu, green onions, and used buckwheat noodles. Otherwise, followed the recipe pretty closely. I loved it and my fiancé must have mentioned at least 5 times throughout dinner how good it was. I'll definitely be making it again, I'll probably try adding green beans and/or broccoli next time, we just didn't have either on hand last night. Thanks for another great recipe that can be easily adapted using whatever veggies I have in the fridge!
Hey Jessica! YAY!! So, so excited you gave it a try! Looove that you doubled it and threw in some fun additions to boot 🙂 Definitely a versatile recipe – hope you have a blast trying out other variations! Wishing you two a beautiful week! -Kaitlin
