In this post, we will talk about how to prepare vegetable noodle soup, which you can consume for both lunch and dinner.
Here’re the ingredients that you need for preparing vegetable noodle soup for 4 people.
500 grams A-Sha Dry Noodle
1 cup finely chopped celery
1 cup finely chopped carrots
1 finely chopped onion
2 finely chopped garlic cloves

2 to 3 bay leaves
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon yeast
1/2 tablespoon dried thyme leaves
3 pinches of dried turmeric
4 cups of water
Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking Directions
- To prepare this yummy soup, the first thing that you need to do is to toss a little bit of olive oil on tofu cubes, and heat the oven to 375F.
- Place tofu on a baking sheet and bake it for 20 minutes. Once the tofu starts changing its color to golden brown remove from the oven, place in a bowl and set aside.
