Jazzed Up Soup
Why I Love This Recipe
FEATURING: Kale (or other leafy greens), rabiole (or kohlrabi or radishes), and green onion. You can also add some basil (optional).
A simple soup that is packed with veggies and takes no time to make. CHEAT VERSION - if you want it even easier or want your kids to be able to make it: Just add these veggies to a package of instant ramen noodle soup (ex: Mr. Noodle, etc.) It will jazz your instant noodles right up!

MAKE THE NOODLES: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add noodles and cook, uncovered, for approx. 3 min. Drain and set aside.
MAKE YOUR SOUP: In a large pot, heat up your broth, garlic and ginger on medium-high heat. When boiling, add in your vegetables and lower heat a bit. Let the vegetables cook a few minutes but stir from time to time and make sure not to overcook them (you want them a little crispy still. Turn off heat and remove from heat.
