There’s nothing more comforting than a bowl of chicken noodle soup! In this recipe, we take those classic flavors, cook them long and slow in a coconut milk broth (yum!), and top it with bright, fresh veggies for a Thai twist on a quintessential American classic.
The best part? You can put this in the crock pot and not think about it until an hour before you want to eat. It’s rich and flavorful, and topped with great fresh veggies for a healthy meal everyone will love!
