Step 1

In a large saucepan over high heat, pour vegetable broth and bring to a boil.

Step 2

Meanwhile, mince garlic and grate ginger. (I use a microplane grater for ginger.)

Step 3

When broth is boiling, add garlic, ginger, miso,* turmeric, peas, and pasta. (If using spaghetti noodles, I like to break them up in smaller pieces before adding.)

Step 4

Return to a light boil. Then reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes or until pasta is cooked.

Step 5

Stir in spinach during last minute of cooking.

Step 6

Taste and add additional miso if desired.
