Instructions
Wash or peel the vegetables for the vegetable broth and coarsely dice. Finely chop the garlic. Save a few leaves of the parsley for later, chop the rest of the bunch including the stems.
Heat 1.2 liters of water in a pot. Add all ingredients for the vegetable stock. Bring to a boil briefly, then simmer over low heat with lid closed for 1 hour.
Strain the vegetable broth through a fine sieve or kitchen towel and collect the broth. The cooked-out vegetables can be disposed of in the compost.
Finely season the vegetable broth with salt and a little pepper. Then bring back to a boil in the pot and add the pasta. Cook according to package directions for about 8-10 min.
Finely slice the carrots and spring onion and cook in the soup for 5 minutes. Then turn off the heat, let it simmer for another 5 min and then spread the soup on plates. Garnish with a few leaves of parsley.
Notes
The quantities are intended for the noodle soup as a main course. As an appetizer, you can easily divide the soup into twice as many portions.It goes well with some bread, e.g. baguette from the oven, or toasted farmhouse bread.
