One of our favorite local restaurants in Chapel Hill is New Hope Market where we would always get their mind blowing noodle bowl. Randy, the chef and owner, was kind enough to share the recipe for this dish so we could make it for the show. I have modified it slightly to reduce the sodium content to align with our style of cooking but otherwise this is a faithful rendition of the original. Let me just say, you need this noodle bowl in your life! Delicious broth, chewy mushrooms, scrumptious eggplant and tofu, this soup has it all.
