1medium leek or 2-3 green onions, white part only, sliced
4cupsvegetable broth
1cupwater
2-3tablespoonslow sodium soy sauce
1cupfrozen peas
1lbpackage whole wheat angel hair pasta
Kosher salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
In a large pot, over medium-high heat, warm olive oil. Saute garlic and ginger until fragrant. Add carrots and leeks (or green onions, if using). Continue to saute until leeks/onions are translucent.
Add in vegetable broth, water, and soy sauce. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 5 minutes. Add in frozen peas and continue to cook on a low simmer until peas are no longer frozen. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and add angel hair pasta. Cook until al dente and drain. Pasta remains separate from soup to keep it from getting soggy during cooking and storage.
To serve, place a small serving of pasta in a soup bowl and ladle Ramen soup over pasta. Serve immediately.
To Pack in a Thermos:
Preheat the thermos container with boiling water. This step is optional, but it helps.
Heat the soup in the microwave or stovetop to a piping-hot temperature.
Drain the water from the thermos.
Fill the thermos with the very hot soup.
Close the thermos container and pack it inside a lunch bag.
