In a soup pot or Dutch oven, combine the garlic, ginger, coconut milk, water, broth cube, and tofu. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to simmer, covered.
While the soup simmers, cut the baby carrots into ¼" coins. Stir these into the pot, and replace the cover. (Time-Saving Tip: You can cut 2 carrots at once! Just place them side by side.)
Now it’s time to chop your broccoli into florets. If you want maximum broccoli, you can also include the stems in this soup. Just use your knife to slice away the tough outer part of the stems, then cut the rest of the stalk into 1" pieces.
Add the broccoli and noodles, stirring them into the soup, and covering the pot. Bring back to a boil and simmer for 4 minutes (or however long your package of noodles says to cook them, if you used a different type), stirring frequently. You definitely want to stir those noodles a few times while they cook, since you’re not using as much liquid as you’d normally use. Frequent stirring will keep them from sticking together or to the bottom of the pot.
When the noodles are tender, remove the pot from the heat, and serve with toppings of your choice.
