    Tips & Variations:

    • Add some additional garnish like Thai Basil, bean sprouts, or even jalapenos for some spice.
    • Feel free to add more vegetables like bok choy.  Trim the bottom inch from the head of the bok choy, then cut each stalk in half lengthwise and stir fry the stalk for about 2 minutes in about 1 teaspoon of oil. Add bok choy when you add the rest of the vegetables.
    • Feel free to use light coconut milk for a lighter soup.
    • To make this gluten-free, use gluten-free noodles like sweet potato noodles.
    • Udon Noodles or ramen noodles also go well with this soup.
    • Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Separate noodles from the soup so the noodles don’t expand.
