3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1. In a large pot, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

3. Add the scallions, celery, and carrot to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.
4. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until it is fragrant, 30 to 60 seconds.
5. Add the meat stock, fish sauce, cinnamon, pepper, and sriracha to the pot. Bring the soup to a simmer.
6. Add the zucchini noodles to the pot. Simmer until the noodles are al dente, about 5 minutes.
7. Return the reserved beef to the pot and simmer for 1 minute.
8. Stir in the cilantro and serve immediately.
Make it lighter:
To make this vegan, eliminate the beef and replace it with 8 ounces of cubed tofu. Replace the beef stock with the Basic Vegetable Stock (

) and cut out the fish sauce.

Use bulk Italian sausage—that is, sausage without casings— for this tasty soup. If you can’t find Italian sausage in bulk, then buy regular Italian sausage and remove the casings by running a sharp knife diagonally across the sausage and squeezing the meat from the casing. For a spicier soup, choose hot Italian sausage.

1. After spiralizing, cut the carrot and zucchini noodles into elbow shapes to make macaroni. Set aside.
2. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add the sausage and cook, crumbling with a spoon, until it is browned, about 6 minutes. Remove the sausage from the oil with a slotted spoon and set it aside on a platter.

6. Simmer until the macaroni is al dente, about 5 minutes.
