(NC) Chicken noodle soup is a staple from almost everyone’s childhood, but it’s about time this nourishing classic got a bit of an update. Enter Asian Dumpling and Squash Soup, a fun, flavourful and easy-to-prepare meal that any child will love.
“Throw in sweet potato, frozen edamame or any vegetables on hand to make sure your kids get in their greens. It’s also a great way to clear out the fridge,” says Tom Filippou, executive chef for President’s Choice cooking school. “Heat it up and put it in a thermos so they can enjoy a warm and hearty lunch at school.”
