    Creamy Tom Yum Noodle Soup

    Creamy Tom Yum Noodle Soup

    If you think of imperfectly rehydrated vegetables and a foam cup when you hear noodle cup, you’re not alone. This creamy Tom Yum noodle soup is way beyond that mediocre convenience food! With a few minutes and a bit of slicing, you’ve got a mix of fresh and sautéed veggies, crispy tofu, and a hearty meal ready to stave off any lingering chill of winter. No air fryer? You can always start the tofu in the pan and sauté the veggies once you’ve got some crispy edges. For a more hands off approach, you can also cook the tofu in a 400°F oven on a lined baking sheet. Either way, you’re just a few minutes away from creamy, rich, hot and sour soup!
