Fake Thai Noodle Soup


I really like those Thai Kitchen noodle soup packets, but they have like, no nutritional value whatsoever. I have to seriously doctor them before I'll even consider them as a meal option. However, they are a quick (10 min. max), cheap (79 c) and yummy recipe base. This is tonight's variation:

Fake Thai Noodle Soup

1 pkg. Thai Kitchen noodle soup (I like Garlic & Vegetable)
1 pkg. frozen spinach
2 eggs
3 cloves garlic, chopped
2 T olive oil
hot sauce to taste
GF soy sauce to taste

Prepare spinach according to package directions. Prepare noodles according to package directions. Saute garlic in olive oil. When soup noodles are softened, scramble eggs quickly in a bowl and then dump into soup. Turn heat down to low and stir until the eggs firm and feather. Simultaneously, strain the spinach and dump in the garlic/olive oil. Saute for a minute or so.

Spoon all of the spinach into a very large bowl. Pour the entire noodle soup over the spinach. Add A LOT of hot sauce and soy sauce to taste.

This meal is insanely cheap (about $2), healthy and filling. Some may balk at the thought of eating the entire package of spinach, but I didn't really eat any other vegetables today.
