Directions
Bring the water and olive oil to a boil in a pot over medium-high heat. Once it’s bubbling, add the noodles and give them a stir now and then as they cook for about 3 minutes, until they’re almost tender. Next, pour in the vegetable broth and toss in the carrot pieces. Let everything cook together for another minute, stirring occasionally. Then, add the chopped green bell pepper, celery, and soy sauce. Stir everything well and bring the soup back to a boil for one more minute. Finally, sprinkle the green onions on top before serving.
Serving Inspiration
