A simple, easy, and filling twist on traditional chicken noodle soup.
Enjoy!
In Louisiana cool fronts are few and far between and when we are lucky enough to have a cool snap, you can find me wanting soup, pulling out the UGG’s, lighting a fire, and probably wearing a full snow suit to celebrate the dip into the 60’s. We had our first cool snap and you guessed it, this little lady wanted soup so I put my thinking cap on. I felt brave, yes I had a Julia Child moment. With no recipes in front of me I decided to live life on the edge. I may need to live life on the edge more often because this soup turned out so delicious and came with such rave reviews from my husband, that I decided to share it with you. I was craving an east meets west taste and I succeeded with my new found friend “Jalapeño Chicken Noodle Soup”.
