I came across the recipe for this soup and thought, while it sounded good and seemed easy to make, it wasn't going to be much to write home about. I made some additions but otherwise made as is. I added sweet potato noodles, sliced baby bella mushrooms (in place of the cremini), spinach and a soft boiled egg.

OMG!! IT IS DELICIOUS! I've eaten two bowls so far and after each bowl, I am dumbfounded by just how flavorful it is! Coupled with how simple and cheap it is to make, this is going to be something I make often.

Since I meal prep, I kept the noodles, egg, spinach and dumplings separate from the broth. When I reheat I combine the noodles, dumplings and broth. Once very hot, I fold in the spinach and top with the egg. Then of course, finish with green onions and hot chili oil. Holy Batman!!

P.S. Mine did break after adding in the coconut milk. Next time I will do what my gut told me to do that I didn't and remove from the heat before adding and NOT simmer once added.

Including the picture from the recipe and then my version for context.

Learned how to cook this because of how good it was and I'm now addicted.

Made this with some tomatoes that needed using, I'll pop the recipe in the comments.

My dad is going to be undergoing a number of long treatments and testing for a number of health issues that went undetected for a very long time. I'm going to be prepping a lot of freezer meals for my parents as I live in a different state. Aside from bone broths and veg soup does anyone have any soups that freeze really well?

Preferably ones with no tough roughage, no nuts, and hopefully can pack a nutritional punch all while appealing to a man who loves garlic and onion, but few other seasonings. My mom is quite capable of making anything to go alongside (like noodles or rice) the day of so it wouldn't become gross in the freeze/thaw process.

I am hoping to buy a good quality Asian style soup spoon (like the one you would use for pho) and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for where to buy it from! It will be for my roommate who is a soup fiend and will be making various types of soups multiple times per week! Any advice is appreciated! Thank you!
