Yes, I love Thai food. The sourness, they spicyness, the sweetness, the herbs and spices used in cooking…I mean….loads of taste and flavor working together to please my taste buds. You will find this Thai-inspired chicken noodle soup incredibly easy to make, especially if you have leftover chicken meat. You can whip up this chicken noodle soup in no time and I just love how the soup taste. A secret to a good noodle soup lies on the broth and this one does it for us. Super delicious is all I can tell you. You should give it a try. The recipe is highly flexible too. You can use whatever noodle and vegetable you like, or even the choice of whatever leftover meat you have can be made into this dish. A complete meal on its own and a happy you 🙂
