Ingredients
- 6 ounces egg noodles
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 inch piece ginger root minced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 leek sliced into 1/2-inch pieces

- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- ½ teaspoon ground white pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 cups water

Instructions
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add egg noodles; cook, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 3 minutes. Drain. Rinse with cool tap water until cooled, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add ginger and garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in leeks and cook until slightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add carrots and celery; cook and stir, about 2 minutes. Add potatoes; cook and stir, about 2 minutes.
- Cover skillet and cook until vegetables release some moisture, about 5 minutes. Stir in turmeric, white pepper, and salt. Pour in water and bring soup to a boil.
