Wow, autumn in Chicago is turning really cold really quickly this year. I have central heating in my apartment and the building management does not turn on the heat till November. :S So here's how I keep myself warm and cosy when I get to work from home on weekdays.
A quick and easy noodle soup that is sure to delight and keep your afternoon time free for a lot more exciting stuff. :) This is also a perfect recipe to clean left over vegetables from your fridge!

4. 2 teaspoons miso paste
5. ½ teaspoon chili flakes
6. Salt, pepper and onion powder to taste
7. ½ cup pasta (cooked almost to al dente) or chinese noodles

4. Add in pasta or chinese noodles.

Kelly, do I know you from somewhere? Vancouver? I think I remember you somehow...
Hi Ever Lovable,
Yes. I was living in Vancouver doing my graduate school for about 3 years before moving to Chicago about a year ago. My cancer diagnosis and treatments were all done in Vancouver.
What is your actual name? Maybe that will help ring a bell for me too. :)
Cheers....Kelly
