Summer Chunky Veggie Broth with Noodles
This summer veggie broth with noodles is a light Ayurvedic soup recipe that provides gentle nourishment while supporting digestion.
Vegetable broths are often recommended in Ayurveda because they hydrate the body while remaining easy to digest.
Seasonal vegetables add flavor and nutrients, while the warm broth helps support agni without heaviness.
This comforting soup is ideal during warmer months when the body benefits from lighter meals that still provide grounding nourishment.
Prep Time:
Serves:
20 minutes
1-2 Servings
Ingredients
1-2 cups of noodles (wheat, rice, or udon, prepared according to package instructions)
2 tsp ghee or coconut oil
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 cup chopped green beans
1 cup zucchini slices
½ cup grated carrot
¼-½ tsp of pink salt
2 cups water (or enough to cover the vegetable)
A few saffron strands
1-2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
Preparation
Start the noodles in advance.
Sauté cumin seeds in the ghee/coconut oil.
Add the veggies and salt and continue to sauté until almost browned; this will add flavor to your soup.
Add the water and cook until the veggies are soft and the flavors are infused into the water.
Stir in saffron just before removing from the heat (saffron is very delicate and should be added at the very last minute to maintain its healing properties).
Garnish with fresh cilantro.
Dosha Adjustments
Adjustments for Vata
Enjoy this veggie broth warm with cooked mung beans, an extra spoon of ghee, and a pinch of both hing and sea salt. The added nutrition, healthy fat, and salt make the broth grounding and hydrating for the digestive tract. This provides lasting nourishment without creating gas or airiness.
Adjustments for Pitta
Enjoy this veggie broth warm with sweet zucchini, summer squash, and fresh cilantro added to the pot. Serving the soup warm allows the cooling summer vegetables to calm heat in the small intestine while satisfying a robust appetite. This maintains comfortable digestive balance without provoking acidity.
Adjustments for Kapha
Enjoy this veggie broth warm with a reduced noodle portion and an extra pinch of black pepper and ginger. The warming spices cut through Kapha heaviness and clear excess dampness from the stomach. This keeps the meal light, energizing, and effortlessly digestible for the system.
