Thankfully the Chef came to the rescue this time and showed up in my doorway with a cup of tea. Before I knew it there was rattling in the kitchen and, shortly thereafter, a wonderful smell wafted down the hallway and into my room. Somewhere in my delusion I had croaked the words "noodle soup" when he asked if there was anything I wanted. Something tells me I likely whined out "my mom", too. Normally I would have expected chicken noodle, but in this case a spicy Asian-style soup appeared. It did the trick, too - probably the combo of the spices and the new noodle bowls my mom got me for Christmas.
Cool, huh? I'm totally turning into a kitchen nerd.
Spicy Noodle Bowl
*Broth Ingredients
1/2 onion sliced
1 carrot sliced
1 stalk celery sliced
1 stalk lemongrass sliced
2oz. ginger sliced
6 clove garlic crushed
1 bunch cilantro stems only
3T Soy or Tamari (I use Tamari because it is gluten-free)
2t Siracha (or more if you want spicy)
Water - to cover
~sliced broth ingredients~
~simmering for broth~
*Garnish Ingredients
1/2C bay shrimp defrosted
1/4C ea sliced fine: carrot, celery, scallion, radish
1ea Serrano or 3 Thai bird chili sliced
1/4 bunch cilantro leaves
1/4C broccoli florets
1/2 C rice noodles (pre-cook to package directions)
~Let the assembling begin~
To Finish:
Place desired amount of each item in bowl -
beginning with noodles at the very bottom.
Bring broth back up to boil, and pour over top.
The heat of the broth will warm everything.
~Finished Product~
*Sub tofu, beef, or chicken for shrimp.
*Add basil, mint, napa cabbage, mushrooms, daikon, Bok-choy, soba noodles, or any other similar item you like.

The bowls are making me want to try that even more!
I wish I could have actually found the MbMJ sleeve with the girl on it! The Apple store had a limited selection (and was crazy and stressing both Jared and I out) so I got a pinky/magenta one. It is cute though!
These bowls -- SOOOOOOO cute! Definitely incentive to make some tasty noodles, no? Wishing you a fabulous and very relaxing weekend, gorgeous!

Aww, I´m hungry!
That is such a cute bowl...the recipe looks fab too...Ill have to give it a try:)
Stop by and say Hello:)
Enter my Lulus Giftcard Giveaway!!♥
Mmmmmm that sounds SOOO good right now. It's so cold and hot spicy soup would definitely do the trick!
Once again I am kicking my younger self in the butt for not being wise enough to look for a chef to marry... trust me Maddog should not be anywhere near the kitchen! Glad you are feeling better. I am going to try this, looks easy and healthy! xo
I will be making this recipe for sure this weekend. I love spicy noodles! Sounds perfect for a cold winter night. YUM!
Thanks for sharing.
Awww the chef is so wonderful!!! :D :D Its always good having someone take care of you, isn't it? :)

Looks scrumptious. This post was very nicely put together, by the way. Great work :)
I think spicy soup cures much better than chicken noodle soup. It wakes your body up. This one looks yummy.
This looks and sounds delicious - I'll have to give it a try. I haven't seen the King's Speech yet (hopefully next week because usually I'm all over and British history movie but I've been ridiculously slow on the uptake these past few weeks) but it's supposed to be amazing.

I am SO making that this weekend. Whenever I get sick with sinusy stuff, I take a package of ramen noodles, add ginger and red pepper flakes and eat it as spicy as I can stand. Opens up the sinuses like nobody's bidness. It's the poor-man's version of chef's!
I DID get your e-mail about my friend - sorry I'm a schmuck and haven't replied yet. Durrrr...
I soooo want to see The King's Speech (Colin Firth, homina homina), but don't think it'll be this weekend. After all, we DID see Black Swan two weeks ago. We have to allow our alloted month to go by before we can get our a$$es to the movies again. Sigh.
Hugs!!

Oh yumm that sounds amazing! And those bowls are the cutest too. And glad to hear you're feeling better.
Off to buy some more from Melinda Maria. I already got 2 pairs of earrings and a ring :)
Happy weekend, honey! xoxo
YUM-O DOLL!!! I am in need of something new - heavy winter foods are really getting drab and the fruit you buy right now tastes so BLAH! I think i will make a bath of this, this weekend!
Love you always, and send me those jeans pics! HA!
i feel like i've been battling a cold for the last 3 weeks! i think i need to try this!

What a lover! When I'm sick all I want is Pho...I add a ton of siracha and burn my throat and it feels so good! Once I did ask for my Mom and my Husband called her. Then I gave her the flu a few days before she flew to Europe. Oops!
I have the worst sinus nonsense and this is the ticket!! Thanks again for saving the day with another yummy recipe!
Bowls...where did Momma get those beautiful bowls?
xoxo!!
this looks delicious! i might have to make this.
Love the bowls! The soup looks and sounds so fresh and healthy. I love that!
um, i LOVE pho and spicy noodle soup--definitely one of my faves. what a gem you have in the Chef!
feel better, C.
I just love the bowl! The chef did good, didn't he?! Your soup sounds and looks delicious. I hope you continue to feel better and enjoy your weekend!
YUMMM !! enjoy it it looks amazing

I'm sorry you're not feeling well, but the chef certainly pulled through! That soup sounds amazing, and the spice to cure your cold was inspired!
Also, the shoes below are to die for. Hope you excavate the tree this weekend!
xo, Lena
Aww, hope you feel better soon! But that soup looks like it could help a lot ;) I need noodle bowls!
YUM! That sounds delish! Lucky gal to have a boy make you soup while you are sick - the extent of my boys cooking skills is opening a can of soup! Oh and I totally still want my mom when I am sick... lucky for me she is 5min away!
ps... LOVE those bowls!
Oh, NOM! That looks delicious! I might have to try it out when I have time this weekend. I'm a sucker for spicy noodles and things like that. Yeah!
I'm glad you're feeling better now! And I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one who had a mom who treated them super good when ill. I stayed home for days...she took off of work to stay with me, brought me anything I ever wanted, watched lame TV with me, and everything else. I don't ever WANT to be sick...but I have to say, I kinda miss those days. =| Am I crazy or what?
Thanks for your comment! I totally enjoyed reading it and it cheered me up. I like your idea of doing the exact OPPOSITE of what I did while I was in school. I was mostly a goody-good in college because I value my grades (obviously, haha), so this girl might be bustin' loose sometime in the near future!
That looks like an absolutely DELICIOUS soup! And those bowls are really cute. Hope your recovery is fast and complete!
This sounds delicious! I'm pretty much on board with any recipe including Siracha sauce, my fave. I put it on everything. :) Hope you are feeling better! xo
Anything with lemongrass is fine by me. Sounds delicious. Hope you're feeling all better and can enjoy the weekend!
Carrie!! this soup looks amazing. fun bowl too. I am sure it had you back on your feet in no time.
This post is making my stomach growl. What a great soup for a sick day. I'm glad you're feeling better, Carrie! It's supposed to be 80 degrees this weekend! I'm so excited and hoping to have a frothy margarita with one of those little umbrellas in my near future.

Looks amazing but WOW so many ingredients. I think I would rather go to Pho.
Have a fantastic weekend.
PS feel better soon.
My soup making skills are limited to defrosting Tabatchnik from the frozen food section. But this looks delicious! And I haven't seen The King's Speech but I heard it's fantastic!
Bisous,

Nin Jiom Pei Pa Koa (ninjiom-hk.cwahi.net) may be another choice. i know alot of people use it, its also non alcoholic, though it's effectiveness is not as good as alcohol based cough medicine, but it's still good to use on not so serious sore throat.
