ingredients
- 4 (14 1/2 ounce) cans beef broth
- 6 ounces rice noodles
- 5 ounces Baby Spinach
- 1 cup fresh basil leaf
- 8 ounces pastrami, torn in strips (16 thin slices)
- 1⁄4 cup green onion, chopped
- 2 teaspoons chili oil
- 1 lime, quartered
directions
- Put broth in a large pot. Cover and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- NOTE - I like to simmer the broth with a 1" piece of fresh ginger (quartered) and a cinnamon stick for 30 minutes, remove the items and bring to a boil. It makes it not-so-quick, but it is more flavorful.
- Add the noodles, reduce heat to medium and boil gently, uncovered, 6-8 minutes or until noodles are tender, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the spinach and basil for the last minute of cooking time.
- Divide beef among 4 serving bowls. Ladle soup over the pastrami, sprinkle with green onions and drizzle with chili sauce.
- Serve with lime.

I'm a happily married mother of two and I own a jewelry and accessory business. My husband and I were vegan for six years, we now eat poultry and fish. My husband is a personal trainer and competitive bodybuilder, so it's very important that we eat healthy... too bad I have such a sweet-tooth!
