Nourishing, warming and super easy to make, this edamame noodle soup is a perfect fix for a quick lunch or dinner. Vegan and gluten free.
Following last week’s snowmageddon, which swept across the whole of the UK, it’s finally starting to feel a little bit like spring. I must admit, I’m well and truly ready for warmer weather, spring blooms and blossoms (we have some extraordinary stunning floral showcases here Britain around this time of year) and most importantly, lighter evenings (I’m sure you can relate to this one if you’re shooting food in natural daylight, like I do!)
This week has been a real roller-coaster for me. With so many deadlines and lose ends to finish before the holiday, there has been too many 2am finishes when the recipes had to be typed, hundreds of photos edited and emails sent… Late finishes reminded me of being back at school again, when I used to stay up till really late to revise for my exams (yes, I was a real nerd back then).
WHY SHOULD I MAKE THIS EDAMAME NOODLE SOUP?
- It’s super simple
- Nourishing
- Rich in plant protein
- Great for detox
- It’s quick &easy to make when you’re short of time or if you’re not in the mood for cooking anything too complicated.
I used edamame noodles from the supermarket’s fresh section, so they only had to be cooked for a couple of minutes. You can by all means use dry noodles too – just pre-cook them before adding to the pan with vegetables.
This recipe is highly customisable – feel free to use whatever vegetables you like or have on hand.
As always, if you recreate this edamame noodle soup, I’d be delighted to read your comments and hear your feedback.

Thank you for stopping by. I’ll see you in two weeks after I return from holiday, hopefully with a new lease of much needed energy and a fresh outlook on some trivial things.
Healthfully yours,
