About Chicken Udon Soup with Vegetables
Some years back I lived in Hawaii and the Udon noodle soups there were fabulous.
They were often made with vegetables and sometimes chicken and other times shrimp. The broth varied from a light vegetable to a more robust chicken broth.
That’s the beauty of this soup. You can add anything you want and truly make it your own.
The secret of this Udon soup is really in the savory broth over the fresh crispiness of the vegetables and chicken.
Chicken Udon Soup with Vegetables sounded like a perfect idea with the recent weather.
Although today it’s officially Spring, there are so many parts of the country that still feel the winter chill.
So, when it’s rainy, or snowy, and downright cold outside, nothing sounds better than soup. Chicken soup…with vegetables for me…and noodles for George.
He loves noodles and orders them often when we go out.
I remembered I had picked some Udon noodles a couple of weeks ago, plus I had some leftovers from a roasted chicken I recently made, so Chicken Udon Soup with Vegetables it’s going to be.
And the truth is that it’s so simple to make.
