Cold weather = soup weather. Soup is mandatory in the fall and winter months that we’re heading into. It’s slowly starting to feel like fall around here. Today I wore long sleeves with my shorts and flip-flops…hehe. Even though I make fun of Florida’s wimpy weather, it really does get cold here…really it does.
This soup-noodle hybrid is perfect for these cooler days. An array of veggies cooked in an broth with asian flavor accents, then poured over almost-instant rice noodles.
This steaming bowl is literally overflowing with color and flavor and lots of noodles! I overestimated the size of my bowl, underestimated my number of noodles, and ended up with a soupy spill. So choose a big bowl for this feast.
Just 10 minutes! The rice noodles cook in less than 5 minutes, the veggies cook in less than 10, and eating time will vary depending on the utensil you choose. I can say from experience, that if you go with chopsticks you’re going to be there a while.
