Ingredients
Soup:
6 cups of veggie broth (Use less cubes than it calls for to avoid the soup being too salty.)
1 Tbsp minced fresh ginger or 1 tsp ground
12 oz broccoli florets
4 oz angel hair pasta or rice vermicelli
Peanut butter paste:
1-2 Tbsp minced fresh ginger
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
2 Tbsp soy sauce
Method
Make the peanut butter paste by mixing the three ingredients together in a small bowl. You can warm it in the microwave for 20 seconds to help it soften. Set aside.
In a soup pot, bring broth to a boil. Add ginger and broccoli and cook for about 3 minutes. Add pasta and cook for 5 minutes or until pasta and broccoli are tender.
Serve with a dollop of peanut paste to be swirled into soup.
