Udon Noodle Soup is a perfect meal on a cold winter’s day. My son just finished his second Whole 30 diet plan (more about that later this month). He lost 49 pounds in 60 days. Unbelievable, right? He was determined to stick to this diet and his auto-immune symptoms felt a little bit better as well, winning! The one food he really missed while on the Whole 30 was soup with noodles. This Udon Noodle Soup was made with love for him on the completion of his diet.
An easy soup that is ready in minutes? Yup! This Udon Noodle Soup was quite easy to make. It should not take you more than 5 minutes to prep your veggies, and then about 10-15 minutes to prepare the soup. These noodles are precooked and all you need to do is warm them up. Great way to save time for busy parents! My kids loved slurping these big noodles up in the soup.
This soup can be customized quite easily. Whatever vegetables your family enjoys, add them in. If you prefer this to be a vegetarian soup, just use vegetable broth and the original flavor Udon noodles. I prefer to use the Fortune noodles because they:
- are made from 100% natural ingredients
- are fortified with ALA Omega-3
- have no MSG
- can be ready in minutes
- sauce packet is separate, so you can use the noodles separately or with the seasoning
This recipe was a part of a blogger Fortune Noodle challenge sponsored by JSL Foods. If you want to keep up with this delicious noodle company you can follow them on Facebook or Twitter. I found the noodles for sale at my local Target and Fresh Market.

Bitter cold here so soup is in everyone’s menus. Nice hearty soup that warms a person up.
My favorite winter food by far is soup as well!
That looks like a delicious soup! I love Udon soup. I’ve never tried making it for myself though. I would LOVE to give this recipe a try.
The first time you make it, try using precooked noodles. It makes soup in minutes.
Those nice big chunky vegetables look so good in this. It’s cold and rainy. This would be perfect tonight. I’ll have to see if I have all of the ingredients.
This soup will warm you right up!
This looks good…especially on a night like this in Dallas where is it 26 degrees. The fresh veggies look DELISH!
It is 5 degrees here, too cold for me! I need to make another batch of this soup.
This looks really rich in taste and also is healthy. This can be a really good meal especially on cold and rainy days.
Perfect meal on a cold rainy day!
