Peanut Noodle Cup Soup

5.0

3 Reviews

This peanut noodle soup is packed with tender-crisp vegetables and tofu. The base is made ahead of time so the tofu has a chance to absorb some of the flavor before the broth is added. Packaged precooked noodles save on prep time, but any leftover noodles can be used in their place. If the precooked noodles are sticking together, soak them in hot water for a few minutes to help them loosen up.
