#SecretRecipeClub ~ Asian Chicken Noodle Soup


Welcome to the September 2016 Group B reveal day for Secret Recipe Club. I hope you will take a moment to visit the Secret Recipe Club if you've never heard of it before - it is a wonderful group of food bloggers who are given a secret assignment of another member's blog each month and our goal is to pick ANYTHING from their blog to make and post about on our designated reveal day.

For September I had the pleasure of browsing the Cookaholic Wife blog, penned by Nichole who began her blog in 2009 to meet her need to "cook, bake, enjoy". Nichole's blog offers a wide variety of dishes to meet every skill level and taste - you will certainly find something delicious to prepare for yourself and your family at Cookaholic Wife. Just look at a few of the dishes I stumbled across: Roasted VegetablesPumpkin Dinner RollsCranberry Apple BreadCheesy Beef SandwichesCrock Pot Italian Beef Sandwiches, Gouda Bacon CheeseburgersMushroom Melt SandwichShrimp Po' BoysBroccoli Bacon SaladTBLAT SandwichAsian Chicken Noodle SoupBuffalo Chicken PastaChicken and Onion FlatbreadFirecracker ChickenTeriyaki Turkey BurgersPeach Raspberry Pie... the list goes ON AND ON! Her recipe index is pretty incredible.


As you can see I opted for this Asian Chicken Noodle Soup - and we loved it. I will absolutely make this again! You can mix and match the add-ins to incorporate what you like best and have on hand. I let mine simmer quite a bit more than the original recipe called for and ended up having a lot of my liquid vanish - so would be mindful of that, or up the liquid amount next time. I found this was a great dish to prep ahead of time, with most everything but the noodles, the evening before, and then had dinner on the table the next night in no time flat. Perfect for a busy work night!
