Ingredients

  • 1 tea chili pepper flakes
  • 1 tea dried basil
  • 1 tea of cinnamon
  • 1 onion
  • 2 stalks celery
  • 1 large carrot
  • 2 tablespoons of cornstarch
  • 1 tea chili pepper flakes
  • 1 tea dried basil
  • 1 tea of cinnamon
  • 1 onion

Method

  • Infuse oil with 1 tea peppercorns (i used green), 1 tea chili pepper flakes, 1 tea dried basil.
  • Add onions, when soft and almost translucent, add 4-5 cloves of garlic whole and add 1 tea salt.
  • add celery and carrots and 1 tea of cinnamon saute until softened.
  • When vegetables are almost thoroughly cooked add 4 cups of water.
  • Nearing the end of the cooking process chop and add the more delicate artichokes and tomato.
  • separate about a cup of hot cooking liquid.
  • add 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and mix until there are no lumps.
  • add the corn starch liquid back into the soup.
  • the corn starch allows the cooking liquid to thicken without cloudiness or any after taste.
  • add noodles, preferably rice noodles and salt to taste.
  • Also i love topping my soups with green onions, but not everyone does.
