Asian Chicken Noodle Soup

The week after daylight savings is always a bit rough for me. As if preparing for the long, cold winter ahead wasn’t hard enough- now we have to watch the sun set before we eat dinner! It is easy to fall into the darkness and be bitter, but it is also easy to turn Bob Marley onto my Pandora (pretend I am on an island) and cook up some food that will make me smile. A positive outlook on the winter ahead is the only way to make it through!

Screen Shot 2014-11-03 at 6.58.03 PMThis soup is an awesome take on chicken noodle soup. The soy sauce is balanced by the sugar and acidity of the lime. I ended up having a lot of extra broth, which is great to freeze to use for a quick replica meal any day of the week! This soup is comforting, but also light and refreshing; the perfect meal to have while you focus on resetting your clock (and perspective on the winter ahead!).
