Saturday was no exception especially as we had been out for lunch and what I ordered was quite a heavy meal. And as we all know, normally when you go out for lunch you can guarantee come dinner time you want something to eat but you definitely do not anything heavy. By 6pm I fancied something that would not only excite my taste buds, but give me a vegetable fix, a vitamin boost and wouldn't make me burst from fullness.
This Asian Style Chicken Noodle Soup fit the criteria beautifully. Light, full of vegetables and definitely had that zing I was looking for!!
