Week 237: Thai Chicken Ramen Soup
Happy Thursday!!
As we enter the last of soup delivery of 2023, the menu will feature my most popular soup to maximize customer happiness. While this soup doesn't scream "happy holidays," it will warm you up and make your entire family happy .... what else could you possibly want?!?!
On the menu for TUESDAY, DECEMBER 12th is THAI CHICKEN RAMEN SOUP with ITALIAN SUPERMARKET BREAD. My Thai Chicken Ramen Soup is filled with fresh veggies, tasty bites of chicken and slurp-worthy ramen noodles. It features a creamy and flavorful broth that has a little spicy kick, which makes it the perfect soup to enjoy on a cold, winter evening!
The soup begins by sautéing the chicken, sliced mushrooms, red peppers, fresh ginger and garlic in olive oil. Once the veggies are softened, homemade chicken stock, coconut milk, soy sauce, fish sauce, honey, a little red curry paste and sunflower butter are added. The sunflower butter adds the creaminess and nutty flavor that peanut butter would add, but allows those with nut-allergies to still enjoy the soup.
Once the soup comes to a boil, fresh lime juice, spinach, toasted sesame oil and cilantro finish off the soup. The ramen noodles will be delivered separately, you add them when you heat up your dinner. This prevents the ramen from soaking up all your tasty broth and becoming mushy.
The bread companion this week is my ITALIAN SUPERMARKET BREAD. Just like the name says ... it's a fresh loaf of bread that tastes like the loaves of Italian bread you used to be able to pick up from the supermarket. It has a crispy exterior with a nice chewy bite and is coated in sesame seeds. It is simple, but tastes anything but.
On the menu for dessert are WHITE CHOCOLATE PEPPERMINT COOKIES. These are delicious holiday cookies that are so soft and chewy, because they are made with pudding mix. I also use Andes Peppermints in them, which are just divine! They are not overly powerful, but just the right hint of peppermint. ~Jenny from JennySueDelights
I hope all of you enjoy your holidays and I wish you a happy & healthy New Year. I'll be back in early January with a bunch of tasty soups to warm up your winter nights!!
