Asian-Style Chicken Noodle Soup - cooking recipe

Ingredients

32 ounces chicken broth
1 cup water
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon shrimp bouillon
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon
1/2 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
6 carrots, diced
6 stalks celery, diced
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 onion, chopped
3 ounces spaghetti
1 pound shrimp (31-40 per pound), peeled and deveined
4 cups fresh spinach, chopped
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
2 teaspoons chopped lemongrass
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 pinch ground black pepper, or to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste

Preparation

Stir chicken stock, water, bay leaves, fish sauce, shrimp bouillon, soy sauce, chicken bouillon, Chinese five-spice powder, garlic powder, and onion powder together in a stockpot; bring to a boil and reduce heat to medium. Add carrots, celery, red bell pepper, and onion; bring stock to a simmer and cook until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
Add spaghetti to the stockpot; cook until tender yet firm to the bite, about 5 minutes.
Reduce heat to medium-low. Add shrimp, spinach, white wine, ginger, lemongrass, sesame oil, black pepper, and cayenne pepper; stir. Turn heat below stockpot off and let soup sit as the residual heat cooks the shrimp until they are firm and the vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes more.
