For the toppings:
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add dry pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and drizzle with a little olive oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
2. Heat olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add sweet onion, celery, sliced garlic, and minced ginger. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Add chicken bone broth, low-sodium chicken broth, water, and optional bouillon. Stir and simmer uncovered on low for 15–20 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
4. Add baby spinach to the simmering broth and cook for 1 minute, just until wilted. Stir in lemon juice to brighten the flavor.
5. In a separate skillet, heat a small amount of oil and fry the sliced shallots over medium heat until golden and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and let cool to stay crispy.
6. To assemble: Add cooked pasta to soup bowls. Ladle hot soup with broth, veggies, and spinach over the pasta. Top with chopped parsley, crispy shallots, and optional chili oil.
7. Serve immediately.
You can substitute vegetable broth to make the recipe vegetarian.
For extra immune-boosting power, double the garlic and ginger.
Chili oil adds heat and complexity—adjust to your spice preference.
