While it is mid-August and we have been experiencing a very hot summer with little rain, as of late, everyone was given some reprieve today with cool temps, a cloudy sky and chill in the wind. I myself, was enjoying running my errands without mopping at my brow, but the thought wasn't far from my mind that soon I would be cursing the cold and wishing for the sun again...but in the meantime, it was wonderful to curl up in my oversized desk chair and pick noodles out of the bowl of soup with chopsticks.
I'm a soup person...I don't know when it happened or how it started, but I believe that if I were to have a favorite food it would be soup. There are very few I don't enjoy and some I enjoy a few times in a week!
Lately, I have been on an Asian soup kick. I often run to my nearby Chinese takeout joint for hot n sour soup or make Food Woolf's (click article title for link and recipe) healthy ramen. I know, I know, ramen is something we are all supposed to give up after college because we aren't that broke anymore, but let me tell ya-this isn't the instant-stuff your used to. Plus, its good for you! On a cool day, this will definitely warm you up!
I dont get too technical with the type of lettuce he uses...I usually have romaine in my fridge and it works just fine...Ive even subbed out the green onions for chives before and it was ok (although, I highly discourage subbing out this particular ingredient). I like spice, so I add more sriracha and be careful with the soy sauce or it can get way too salty...if so, just add some water...but overall, I have made this soup a few times and it has been delicious!
Enjoy!
