Simple Veggie Noodle Soup When you are sick, you need soup. That’s just how it goes. When you are sick, you also don’t have the energy to make a fancy meal. That’s how this soup came about. Tomato sauce can be a great soup base; it’s mainly tomatoes which are flavorful and add texture, plus its already flavored with garlic, onions and a few other spices. I used Better Than Bouillon Veggie Broth for extra flavor, which you can find at natural food stores or whole foods. I put in noodles (comfort food) and just a few veggies to keep it simple. I put in a clove of garlic, and actually ate one clove while I was cooking. Garlic is a natural antiviral, as well as antibacterial and antifungal, so it’s great to eat when you are sick. I also made sure to add lots of hot sauce to clear my sinuses.  Ingredients: 1 or 2 TBS Better Than Bouillon Veggie Broth Tomato Sauce of Choice (I used Trader Joe’s Marinara Sauce) Half a White Onion 1 or 2 Cloves Garlic Salt and Pepper to taste Noodles of Choice (I used rotini, or corkscrew noodles) Frozen Peas Carrots Hot Sauce Directions: Boil a pot of water, add noodles when water is at rolling boil Add Veggie Broth While noodles begin to cook, chop your garlic, onion and carrot into bite size pieces, and add to soup When water returns to boil add frozen peas Mix in several large spoonfuls of tomato sauce, taste and add more as needed Add salt, pepper, hot sauce, and any other herbs and spices you desire Enjoy, and get plenty of rest :) -N View high resolution

I used Better Than Bouillon Veggie Broth for extra flavor, which you can find at natural food stores or whole foods. I put in noodles (comfort food) and just a few veggies to keep it simple. I put in a clove of garlic, and actually ate one clove while I was cooking. Garlic is a natural antiviral, as well as antibacterial and antifungal, so it’s great to eat when you are sick. I also made sure to add lots of hot sauce to clear my sinuses.
