Thai Chicken Soup {Recipe}

I love it when my husband tries a new recipe! Especially, when it's a good one like this recipe he found in one of our Food Network magazines. This is great if you're feeling a bit under the weather, but be careful with that green curry paste, that's some strong stuff. I love the heat though!


Thai Chicken Soup

What you need:
2 small skinless chicken breasts (1lb), sliced very thinly
4 oz thin rice noodles, broken slightly
2 red bell peppers, thinly sliced
1 onion, thinly sliced
2 garlic gloves, minced
6 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons green curry paste
1 (15oz) can coconut milk
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 cup roughly chopped cilantro

What to do:
1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot, add the onion and cook over medium high heat for about 8 minutes or until slightly browned and softened. Add the garlic and curry paste and cook, stirring for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth, coconut milk and fish sauce. Cover and bring to a boil.

2. Add the bell peppers and noodles and simmer until noodles are al dente (about 3 minutes). Add the chicken and cook until cooked through (3 more minutes). Stir in the lime juice and cilantro.

This takes about 30 minutes to prepare and serves 4. Awesome on a rainy night!

Trying New Things {Cha-yen & Starfruit}

We've been venturing out of our comfort zone recently and trying some new things. We love trying new foods especially, but sometimes find ourselves in a bit of a rut. We decided to try something new every week. Here is our most recent "new things" we've tried.

We found a really yummy Thai restaurant near base. No, Thai food isn't new for us, but it is new dor Ariana. The Thai iced tea WAS new for us! It's orange!!
It was actually really yummy and I can't wait to have it again. It's kind of sweet though.


Ariana was a champ. She tried everything. She loved the soup the best. How cute is she eating her Thai food?!


She tried the soup, spring rolls, and my food (which sorry I can't even remember what I got but it was chicken and noodles and veggies. Yum!


Oh it's making me hungry!! Hmmm I may see another lunch date here soon!!

We also decided to start trying some new foods at home. The commisary sometimes has things that we've never eaten or cooked with before. Celery root for example. No idea, but last week we made some mashed potatoes with them and they were ok.

We also got some starfruit. Has anyone else eaten starfruit??




It was definately really pretty when we cut it up. I'm not completely sure it was ripe though, it was still pretty green, and after reading up on it online, I think it's suppose to be more yellow before you eat it. We may be trying this again soon.

Yay for new things!!!

Have any of you tried these things before??
Have you tried anything new recently?
