This hearty Vietnamese soup is prepared by pouring a fragrant broth over noodles, vegetables, and fresh herbs so that they release their flavors and aromas. It’s a no-brainer way to transform leftover noodles and vegetables into a satisfying second-day meal. 
  • 8 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 whole star anise
  • ½ recipe Noodles and Vegetables, or
  • 6 cups steamed vegetables, 2 cups cooked rice noodles, and ¾ cup cubed firm tofu
  • 3/8 cup Sesame Dipping Sauce, or ½ cup prepared gyoza dipping sauce
  • 1 ¼ cups mung bean sprouts
  • ½ cup torn fresh basil
  • ¼ cup torn fresh mint leaves
  • 1 lime, cut into 6 wedges
  • Hot chile sauce, such as sriracha, optional

1. Combine broth and star anise in large saucepan, and bring to boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 10 minutes.

2. Add Noodles and Vegetables and Sesame Dipping Sauce to broth, and bring to a simmer.

3. Divide soup among bowls. Top with bean sprouts, basil, and mint. Serve with lime wedges and chile sauce, if using.
