Yes, it is soup again, because we are in “Soup Season”.
Today I felt like I wanted/needed a proper lunch break. And because it was again cold and wet outside (as it will be for the next 6 months), I had a craving for a hot and flavorsome noodle soup, which was probably inspired by some food posts shared by friends not long ago. I love it when people share they’re creations and they look so good that they actually inspire me to cook myself.
All this to say, I made some soup. Again.

Don’t ask for a recipe. I’m really not good at the “following a recipe” malarkey…but it is based on this one:
https://theforkedspoon.com/ginger-garlic-noodle-soup-with-bok-choy/
…with a bunch of substitutions as I have other plans for my mushrooms (but had some Quorn chicken pieces), and I had no star anise (so substituted Chinese 5 Spice), and I wanted some colour and more veg (so added sweetcorn and carrots).
You can see why I don’t excel at following recipes.
I really like it. I’m currently slurping another bowl for dinner.

Chicken and wild rice sounds nice. Are you adding any herbs or spices?

I’m not preparing anything at the moment but, there is always lots of fresh garlic, onions, shallots (not that they are herbs or spices), rosemary, turmeric, basil, kinds of salt, two kinds of pepper, savory and, then, whatever veggies I am in the mood for.

Chili! Just made some last night. And I have a recipe, but didn’t follow it. A little of this, a little of that….
Your soup looks good! But sadly, it’s not very cool here in Southeast TX yet.

I love chili, too, and I am sure that there will be a chili post in the next few weeks. I love how every one has their own favourite recipes for it (and everything else).
A friend introduced me to one that included fresh mango, which was not a variant I had tried before. It was really nice.
What usually goes into your version?

Minestrone with lots of vegetables and beans and parmesan of course!
