Veg Thukpa
Light, wholesome, and deeply comforting, Veg Thukpa is a delicious Himalayan noodle soup that’s perfect for warming up on chilly days or when you crave a healthy, flavorful bowl full of fresh goodness. Originating from Tibetan cuisine and loved across Nepal and the Himalayan region, this nourishing soup brings together tender noodles, crisp vegetables, and aromatic spices in a clear, savory broth.

A flavorful vegetable stock is the base of Veg Thukpa — infused with garlic, ginger, onions, green chilies, and mild spices that create warmth without overpowering the fresh, natural taste of the vegetables.

Seasonal veggies like shredded cabbage, carrots, green beans, capsicum (bell peppers), tomatoes, and spring onions are added, bringing vibrant color, crunch, and nutrients to every spoonful. Some versions also include baby spinach or mushrooms for extra heartiness.

Soft wheat noodles — cooked just right to stay springy and satisfying — soak up the broth beautifully, making each bite warming and filling. A splash of soy sauce or a sprinkle of Sichuan pepper (timur) adds mild zest and a subtle kick, while fresh coriander leaves and a squeeze of lime juice brighten the final bowl.

Served steaming hot, Veg Thukpa is comforting, nourishing, and perfect on its own or enjoyed alongside momos or a side of spicy achar for a true taste of Himalayan home-style cooking.
