Vegan Iranian Noodle Soup

 

This is a cool soup, if you are looking for something different. It has a nice hearty base of protein along with a broth with great flavor. It has all the greens you need along with the addition of noodle and topped with the tartness of vegan yogurt and lime. I hope you enjoy this vegan version!
