Weekly Recipe: Lemongrass Coconut Noodle Soup
Posted by Rebecca Shrimpton on
It's that time of year when freezing temperatures are getting us all pretty sick. Instead of reaching for another can of chicken noodle soup, try a much more interesting and nutritious alternative! This lemongrass coconut noodle soup is a great Thai recipe that we've been using for years. It's great as is, but is easily enhanced with some protein like pieces of chicken or shrimps! We've garnished our bowl with a wedge of lime, sliced red chili peppers, and fresh cilantro. Other great additions include chopped green onion, been sprouts, and Thai basil! Whatever you like!
