What do you make when you’re in need of something comforting, warming, healthy and delicious? Happy Noodle Soup!
It’s Happy Noodle Soup because… there are no animals harmed in the making of it… it’s warm and nourishing when you’re feeling under the weather… and it’s comforting and soothing when you’re going through a difficult or stressful time.
Happy Noodle Soup incorporates lots of healthy ingredients that will keep you on top of things at this busy time of year, and warm and cozy from the cold.
GARLIC improves blood flow throughout the body, lowers cholesterol, tryglycerides and LDL cholesterol levels while also increasing the beneficial cholesterol HDL; has anti-tumor properties; inhibits the formation of nitrites, chemicals that could trigger stomach cancer; and the essential oils in garlic are excreted through the lungs, which means that it is particularly effective for clearing respiratory ailments.
GINGER can reduce the symptoms and severity of headaches by blocking prostaglandins, the chemicals that cause inflammation in blood vessels in the brain; has anti-inflammatory properties that can shorten the discomfort of headaches, colds and flu; blocks the production of substances that cause bronchial congestion and stuffiness; its main compounds, gingerols, are natural cough suppressants; works to reduce joint swellings from rheumatoid arthritis; and reduces blood clots and the risk of heart attacks and strokes by acting as a blood thinner (a good alternative to Xarelto).

JGD Love this happy noodle soup. The way You introduced it. The Asians have such a great one, too. Can’t wait now. JL
It will be nice and warm for the Berlin winter 🙂
I plan on making this in a few days. Your picture looks yummy. I’ve also shared it with a family member – spreading the Happy Noodle Soup word.
Thanks for sharing! Let us know how everyone likes it!
great recipe, but I burned the parchment paper in the broiler. Second attempt was baked at 450F.
LOL Sometimes I forget that I’ve put parchment paper in the oven and wonder why it smells like burning books….
Just made the soup with some changes for what I had on hand. Used, thyme, parsley( no sage), spinach instead of kale and chose quinoa/ corn pasta. can’t wait to try it tonight with salad and Big Sky bread.
