Time for another Crazy Cooking Challenge!
This months theme was chicken noodle soup. I have a few great chicken noodle soup recipes, but I wanted to step out of my comfort zone and try something new. I came across this recipe for Thai Chicken Noodle Soup at Bev Cooks. This soup is really easy and tastes delicious! I came across Bev Cooks from another blog I follow, and I love her recipes! I can't wait to try more in the future. I love the simplicity of the slow cooker, plus the longer cooking time allows the flavors to become fantastic. Make sure to add the cilantro, jalapenos, and a big squeeze of fresh lime! I am really excited to see what the other bloggers come up with- who doesn't love a big bowl of chicken soup on a cold winter day!
Stay tune for next February's challenge: Chocolate Cake!
