Healing Turmeric Noodle Soup (20 Minute!)

March 6, 2018 By Kaitlin McGinn 22 Comments

Soothing & nourishing Turmeric Noodle Soup with a flavorful miso, garlic, ginger-infused broth. Great immune-supporting benefits for healing, inflammation, and cold & flu season. (Vegan, gluten-free, oil-free)

Let’s Make Turmeric Noodle Soup!

This simple, 8-ingredient turmeric noodle soup has become a bit of an obsession in our household. The recipe was unexpectedly born when I was very much under the weather. I wandered downstairs to find something healing & soothing (and most of all quick to make.)

So in my mentally groggy state, I started chucking ingredients into the pot. Turmeric? Yep. Ginger? Definitely. Noodles? Oh yes. Somehow the warm, brothy concoction ended up being exactly what I needed.

It felt so good & 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 the anti-inflammatory and immune-supporting benefits.)

PS – we also love turmeric in this cozy Bedtime Golden Turmeric Milk.

Ingredients

US Customary – Metric
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 oz. pasta (I use quinoa & brown rice spaghetti noodles)
  • 3-4 cloves garlic
  • 1 Tbsp. fresh ginger, grated (about a 1 inch piece)
  • 2 Tbsp. white miso paste
  • 1 tsp. ground turmeric (more to taste)

  • 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 a 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.

Notes

*To avoid miso clumping: spoon miso into a small bowl and whisk with a little hot water to smooth it out before adding to the soup. I don’t always do this, but it’s helpful if you find your miso usually clumps. Feel free to add it at the end with the spinach to help conserve the probiotic benefits.
Made gluten-free with gf pasta. (I like brown rice & quinoa blend.)

    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!

    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.

    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 fiancΓ© 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!

    What are your thoughts on freezing this? I love to make double or triple recipes to stash some in the freezer for when i don’t want to do anything… πŸ™‚

      Hi Alicia! Great thoughts! I’ve never tried freezing this, so can’t speak on experience, but I think it’d do well as a freezer soup. Would love to hear if you give it a try and how it turns out! Have a beautiful week! -Kaitlin

    Just made this with the simple ingredients for a Sunday night supper. It’s delish! Quick and easy! I can see how adding more ingredients will dress it up adding other elements. This is a keeper! So easy if you can keep from microplaning your knuckle trying to get enough ginger…;)5 stars

    Could you use frozen kale instead of the spinach in this soup?

    OMG it all I can say! I made this soup to go along with salad for my lunches this week. First time making it and it won’t be the last. I just may have it everyday for lunch during the winter. I didn’t have miso paste or ginger. However, I did have a trader joe’s ginger miso broth that I used instead. I doubled the batch and used 32 ounces of that broth plus 32 ounces of better than bouillon (vegetable flavor) broth. YUMMY! I didn’t have peas πŸ™ or spinach which I replaced with kale. I did add broccoli! This soup is DELICIOUS! Thank you for the wonderful recipe. I’ve added all the ingredients I didn’t have to my grocery cart, I’ll be making it correctly next week! Happy New Year & thank you πŸ™‚
