Sick-Day Noodle Soup

Feeling under the weather? This simple noodle soup can help you feel hydrated and nourished. The broth is flavored with ginger, one of the best foods to eat when you're not feeling well, and which can help support your immune system and reduce pain and nausea. Crushed red pepper adds spice, so feel free to reduce the amount if you prefer something milder.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon avocado oil
3 medium cloves garlic, grated
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 tablespoon white miso
4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth or chicken broth
4 ounces egg noodles, preferably whole-wheat

Directions

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic, ginger and crushed red pepper; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add miso. Slowly whisk in broth, stirring, until the miso is dissolved. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Add noodles; reduce heat to maintain a lively simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are cooked through, about 8 minutes.
