I love a good old fashioned Chicken Noodle Soup, but spiking it with the warm, tingly ginger, Sriracha, and red curry paste really ups the ante. This is one sinus clearing, cold-fighting, flu-beating soup.

All the goodness starts with the broth. Chicken, carrots, snow peas, bell peppers, and shiitake mushrooms simmer all day in a spicy broth. The warm broth is ladled over tangly gluten free rice noodles and then loaded up with toppings. Now, most of the time toppings are sort of an after thought–something you throw in if you happen to have it on hand or can spare the extra minutes to prepare it.

Not so with this soup. These toppings are non-optional, because they’re really what makes this soup’s flavor so complex and satisfying. It starts with a good sprinkling of cilantro, mint and, green onions, which brings a wonderful freshness to the rich, savory broth. Then comes a squeeze of lime to temper the heat, and, if you’re daring, a few slices of jalapeño to really get those sinuses cleared!
