6 cups vegetable broth
4 medium garlic cloves, lightly smashed and peeled
1 2-inch piece unpeeled fresh gingerroot, cut into
1/4-inch rounds and lightly smashed
2 star anise pods
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon granulated cane juice (such as Sucanat)
6 ounces thin rice noodles (rice vermicelli)
1 large tomato, cored and cut into 12 wedges
24 fresh mint leaves, cut crosswise into thin strips

1 medium jalape¤o chile, stemmed, seeded, and minced

about 1 minute. Stir in chile and lime juice. Ladle
spinach and broth into bowls with noodles and serve
