Happy holidays everyone! I hope you’ve all been having an enjoyable last few days of 2022. To wrap up the year, the winter season announced its arrival loud and clear (at least in Chicago!).
For me — and I’m sure this goes for many of you as well — freezing cold temperatures with a frosty bite always gives rise to an intense craving for a delicious bowl of hot noodle soup. A hearty, feel-good meal that can warm you up at any time of day!
So because of that, I’m always trying to come up with new easy recipes that I can add into my noodle soup rotations. Emphasize on the easy.
But of course, it can also be doubled as a comforting summer soup recipe as well!
