Easy vegan Thai noodle soup recipe that is high in protein (27g), gluten free, and oil free. Great plant based weight loss friendly dinner meal that can be done in one pot and within 20 minutes.

On my last Aldi haul I didn’t only find a nice office chair, I also found a new organic pasta line: Simply nature edamame spaghetti (other options available).

Edamame is a soy bean and has the benefit of complete and high protein content. It is also high in fiber, iron, and potassium. Its a clean and nutritious pasta replacement, especially for gluten free eaters.

Now don’t get too excited because you can definitely tell its not wheat pasta. While the edamame pasta is super nutritious, it takes a bit of time to get used to. If mixed into a one pot meal with other flavorful ingredients (like today’s recipe), the soy bean pasta is a great addition.

I highly recommend trying it out. The recipe below only uses half the package. If you would rather stick with Asian rice noodles please see the recipe adjustment recommendations in the recipe box.

You can also find edamame spaghetti on Amazon, but right now it is much cheaper at Aldi.

Nutrition of the Vegan Thai Soup

Follow the ingredient list of the recipe and you’ll find one serving of the vegan Thai noodle soup contains 350 calories and over 27g of protein.

If you replace the edamame pasta with rice noodles, I suggest adding another can of great northern beans to the recipe to increase protein to 24g and calories to 460.

This recipe is high in iron, potassium, vitamin A, B-vitamins and more. This is a great low calorie weight loss meal with high nutritional value, while still low in sodium. The turmeric and ginger also give this recipe anti-inflammatory benefits.
