This recipe came out of my craving for home made soup. I used all the veggies left in my fridge and since I've been on a low carb kick lately, I added tofu noodles. It turned out great. Even my mother, who absolutely hates tofu, really loved it. Substitute Asian noodles if you don't want to give the tofu a try. Shirataki tofu noodles are found in the refrigerator section and they are packed in liquid. Be sure to rinse the noodles well before cooking them. They are pretty firm, so you may also want to cut them up a little first.
