Thank Goodness for Family Magic Soup

Hi everyone,

It has been quite awhile since my last post. I am really, really, very sorry! Life got busy, as usual, and time slipped away on me. But, I am back! And, I promise to stick around for awhile this time!

Over the past couple of months, I finished my degree, moved provinces and started a new job! It has been quite an adventure and, 5 extra pounds later, life is still great! As always, I am a lucky girl and I am so, so, so happy!

Today, I want to share a delicious soup recipe with you. I promise you that it is good till the last drop! I was having lunch with my parents today, and my dad, being the amazing cook that he is, whipped this up for us like it was no big deal. I couldn't believe my taste-buds. Real magic was happening in that bowl. I swear! Anyway, I have decided to call this one, "Thank Goodness for Family Magic Soup".

On a semi-unrelated note, the following photo is PG rated: I would like to take a moment to share with the world the fact that my parents still make-out on a regular basis. They are like two teenagers in love. It is so adorable! They truly have the most incredible relationship. They are each others' best friends AND they make each other so ridiculously happy. Every time they look at each other, it is like they are falling in love all over again. No need for watching chick flicks. This is what real love looks like, people:


Now on to the soup making business:

Ingredients: Vermicelli noodles, beef broth, Pho beef noodle soup mix, chopped white onion, meat or tofu of your preference, basil, hoisin sauce, hot sauce












All this adorable family time and delicious soup made my heart smile today!

I promise you that this soup is absolutely slurp-tastic. Share it with your families for an afternoon of magical happy hearts and stomachs!

Have a great night,
Shalane <3
