Soup is a staple in our house, we eat it year round — but in the winter a couple of times a week — AT LEAST!

Nothing brings my family together faster than a pot of homemade Chicken Noodle Soup.  Recently though, I thought it would be fun to mix it up, re-imagine the original, if you will.

I started this soup with the normal ingredients, some carrots, onion and celery.  Of course, chicken.  While it was cooking, I added some garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes.  While the soup simmered away the scent and the flavor became nothing short of amazing.  It had the perfect amount of spice.

After it cooked, I added heavy cream and some kluski noodles.  When we served it, we topped it with fresh cilantro.  The cream was a great addition, that creaminess blended perfectly with the amount of heat.  Finishing with cilantro was a great idea.  I can’t express how excited I was with the outcome of this soup!

When I am eating something with a little spice, I love a nice tall glass of iced tea.   Did you know that the flavor of black tea is the perfect compliment to spicy food?

Have you tried Lipton Cold Brew Iced Tea?  It’s fantastic! A pitcher of iced tea, there is no water to boil,  the tea is brewed right in cold water in just 5 minutes!
