Instructions

  1. Fill a large pot with 8 cups of water and add the quartered onion, smashed garlic, sliced carrots, chopped celery, ginger, sliced mushrooms, thyme sprigs, and bay leaves. Set the heat to high and bring the water to a boil.

  5. Add the cooked rice noodles, chopped baby spinach or bok choy, thinly sliced red bell pepper, trimmed snap peas, and zucchini to the broth. Cook everything together for another 3-5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
  6. Ladle the soup into bowls, drizzle sesame oil over the top, and garnish with fresh herbs. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
