It was a dark and wintery night…oh wait, that was me trying to take photos of this delicious soup…daylight savings is a food bloggers nemesis.  I mean, you can’t exactly take pictures of dinner at 1:00 in the afternoon!  I’ve had to improvise and it’s hard.  Very, very hard…especially for untrained-rookie-don’t-know-what-I’m-doing-photographers like myself.  You might have seen my little set up on Instagram…it was as dark as it looked…and that little set up was in my fireplace shelves…A gal’s gotta do, what a gal’s gotta do!

Anyway, on to the soup…Oh this soup.  Honestly, I can’t say enough good stuff about it!  We’ve had it countless times, and it’s a winner each and every time!

It’s so flavourful, healthy and delicious!  I actually like it better than take-out…really truly.

I must say that it’s a hit with my kids too, even for our pickiest eater!  Love that! Oh, and did I also mention that you can have it on your table for dinner in less than 1 hour!  Fab.

This is a full meal in itself…you don’t need to serve anything else with it.  Surprisingly, it’s quite filling!

Instructions

 

Making the soup:

• In a large pot, bring the chicken broth and water to a boil.
• Add the chicken and simmer for 3 minutes.
• Add the carrots, onions (not the green onion) and ginger, simmer for 3 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. If your pieces are bite sized they will cook fast.
• Stir in the green onions, lime juice, soy sauce and hot sauce.
• In another pot boil the rice noodles for 6 minutes, then drain. (see notes)

Putting it all together:

• In a large serving bowl, add the noodles and the snow peas, then pour the soup over the noodles.
• Garnish with cilantro (or serve it on the side), and serve right away!

Notes

Make sure to boil your rice noodles separately. If you add them to the broth uncooked, they will soak up all your broth!
