Veggie Noodle Bowl

Having a game plan for a weeknight dinner has been so helpful in getting my family fed healthy meals at night. I have to admit I was pretty nervous with this one, something I created tonight. My fingers were crossed, and I got the thumbs up from everyone! Although I don't always please everyone (we are 4 females around here smile emoticon afterall), there is always something everyone likes in every meal, so sometimes I have to deconstruct it!

Ingredients:
2 c. chopped red onion
1 carton low sodium vegetable broth
2-4 c. water
1 c. chopped celery
1 c. chopped carrots
1 c. coloured pepper (I used yellow)
1 can low sodium red kidney beans
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp low sodium soya sauce
salt & pepper
1 package brown rice noodles

Directions:
Put all ingredients (except the rice noodles) in a pot and cook on med-high heat, until the veggies are soft.  Add the rice noodles for the last 3-5 mins.  
I served this in a bowl, piled the noodles and veggies in it first and just used a ladle to put a bit of broth to go with it.
