Why You’ll Love This Vegan Thai Noodle Soup

• High in protein: 27g per serving thanks to edamame spaghetti and white beans.
• Quick and easy: Ready in 20 minutes, one pot only.
• Nutrient-dense: Packed with fiber, iron, and potassium.
• Weight-loss friendly: Around 350 calories per serving, low in fat and sodium.
• Anti-inflammatory: Turmeric and ginger add extra health benefits.

The Secret Ingredient: Edamame Spaghetti

During my last Aldi haul, I discovered the new Simply Nature organic edamame spaghetti — and it’s a game changer. Edamame, a young soybean, is naturally high in complete plant protein and rich in fiber, iron, and potassium. It’s a clean and nutritious gluten-free pasta alternative.

Now, let’s be honest — it’s not your classic wheat pasta. The flavor and texture take a little getting used to, but when cooked in a flavorful Thai-inspired broth, it becomes deliciously satisfying.

👉 You can find edamame spaghetti on Amazon, but it’s often cheaper at Aldi. You can also try angel hair protein pasta, or any other protein pasta for this soup.

If you prefer rice noodles, check the recipe notes for adjustment tips. (Hint: just add another can of beans to keep your protein high!)

Nutrition of the Vegan Thai Soup
