Thukpa is a popular noodle soup that is widely consumed in Himalayan regions of  Nepal. It is a hearty, warming dish that is typically made with a clear broth, hand-pulled wheat or rice noodles, and a variety of vegetables and/or meat.

Thukpa can be prepared with a variety of ingredients depending on the region and personal preferences. Common vegetables used include carrots, cabbage, spinach, and onions. Meat options can include chicken, beef, lamb, or yak meat. Some versions of thukpa also include boiled eggs or tofu for added protein.

Spices and seasonings used in thukpa can include garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, and turmeric. It is often garnished with fresh cilantro, scallions, and sliced chili peppers for added flavor and heat.

Thukpa is a popular comfort food, especially during the colder months, and is often served with a side of momos (dumplings) or a traditional Tibetan bread called tsampa. You will find plenty of shops across Kathmandu to take an advantage of this hearty warming dish.
