Legends! As you might have already guessed, I LOVE a good curry. It is comfort food to me. So I decided to spice things up (see what I did here-eheh) and make a curry noodle soup. This recipe is 100% plant-based, 100% delicious, and 100% spicy. It is the perfect dish to keep you warm or if you are feeling sick.

Spices are incredible to elevate any dish’s flavor, but they are also essential to fight inflammation!

It is time to spice up your life with this tasty soup!
