Mmmmm…Noodle soup!

(That’s a Joey Tribbiani reference, FYI…)

Here is a basic, yummy recipe that made a delicious side dish.

Ingredients:
coconut oil
2-3 zucchini, cut into “noodles”
1/2 c. white onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 c. chopped tomatoes
4 c. spinach

For the “noodles,” just julienne or thinly slice zucchini into noodle-like strings. Steam them for a few minutes – until soft – then set aside.

Bring a large pot of homemade, seasoned vegetable broth to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.

Saute onion and garlic in coconut oil in a saucepan for 5 minutes.

Add tomatoes (I prefer Roma) to the saucepan. Cook for a few minutes.

Add 4 cups of spinach to the saucepan. Wilt briefly and add vegetables to the pot.

Add zucchini “noodles” and allow to simmer for a few minutes. Remove from heat and serve.

    It looks absolutely delicious. Are those really zucchini noodles? They look “real”.
