Vegetarian Thukpa#Soupswappers

For this month event our host Karen  , asked us to make  noodle soup. 

Thukpa is a Tibetan noodle soup which has its origins in eastern part of Tibet . But this soup is mostly made with meat and is popular in Nepal, Bhutan, in Northeast India - states like Sikkim, Assam and Arunachal Pradesh.

When I,  was in Sikkim for a holiday, had this vegetarian as well as the non vegetarian version, on different day's for my dinner, it's so delicious, filling soup , since it's loaded with vegetables.
