Ingredients for zero oil veggie and millet noodle soup
You will require the following ingredients to make this delicious soup:
Millet noodles - Millets are a healthier alternative and have low glycemic index. This recipe uses kodo millet vermicelli and with just soaking in hot water, it gets ready. I added them in the soup as the last addition. With one minute simmer, it was perfect!
Thai chili and Black pepper - The heat comes from the black pepper and chopped Thai green chiles. You may adjust the chile pepper based on your spice tolerance.
Green onions, Ginger and Garlic - These aromatics flavor the soup.
Salt - gives flavor.
Water - to cook as well as forms the broth.
Veggies - this recipe uses common veggies like beans, carrot, cabbage, and bell pepper. However, you may add seasonal veggies of your choice that will also cook quick.
Is this easy to make?
This nutritious soup can be prepared easily. All it takes is at the maximum 15 minutes cooking time and 15 prep time, that is cutting veggies. Cabbage, bell pepper, and carrots are easy to chop and provide excellent nutrition. Bring a pot of water to boil and start chopping. This could save a few minutes of time while making this soup. Or you could use a coleslaw pack to cut down chopping time.
Can I use a different noodle?
I recommend using millet noodles. Any millet noodles like kodo, barnyard, foxtail, pearl millet, any of them will work. If you can't find millet noodles, replace them with thin rice noodles, the flavor and nutrition profile may vary though.
Millet and rice noodles cook very quickly. So the procedure is the same. You can also use quinoa vermicelli. If you are using thicker noodles adjust the cooking time and consistency.
If you do not have any of these, replace with thin flour noodles and adjust cooking time accordingly. This soup will be very delicious! However, the nutrition profile will be completely different.
Serving Suggestions
While serving add a few slices of Thai chiles and some ginger slices for extra flavor boost! Serve with optional lime wedges to adjust taste.
