mommytotwo Does anyone here cook any asian foods? Looking for different recipes that my family, and I would eat.

I made Chicken noodle soup I thought was pretty good.

Recipe:
Ingredients:
4C Chicken broth (Swanson)
1 C shredded cooked chicken
1/2 cup uncooked extra wide egg noodles
1 stalk celery, sliced
1 medium carrot
ground black peper to taste

Directions:
Heat broth, black pepper, carrot and celery in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil. Add noodles and chicken. Stir. Re heat to medium. Cook 10 minutes or until noodles are tender, stirring often.

Making the soup this was was a lot healthier than buying Chix noodle soup in a can. The sodium count is much lower w/ piecing your own soup together. Next time, I'm thinking about putting cooked sausage and some other spices instead.

*Looking back, I pre cooked my egg noodles and added them last.

M22, if you find easy asian cooking, let me know. I'd like to read what you found :thumbsup2

Its a toasty 41* degrees here this morning.

Not chicken soup, but here is my current favorite soup recipe:

CANNELLINI BEAN SOUP

Note:
Good with chopped chicken, sausage or Canadian bacon added. Ok to add in any other vegetables, too. Can pretty much mix and match anything with this recipe. But stick to the 6 cups chicken stock. You can add other vegetables and even reduce the amount of beans in it. I like to add a couple of plum tomatoes and a can of diced tomatoes, including the juice.

Ingredients:
2 T bsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 ribs celery, chopped
4 ripe tomatoes (fresh or canned), cut in small chunks
1 tsp sea salt or kosher salt
6 cups chicken broth, vegetable broth or water
3 cans (15 oz each) cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
2 cloves garlic, sliced
1⁄4 cup parsley, chopped
Serve with: grated Parmesan

Directions
1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and celery and sauté 5 to 6 minutes until soft. Add tomatoes and salt, and sauté 3 minutes.

2. Add broth, beans and garlic, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer 20 minutes for flavors to blend, adding the parsley during the last 5 minutes. Serve with grated Parmesan.
