Not because of Valentine’s Day, but because it’s so short and always seems to fly by. The faster the cold months fly by the better in my opinion. If you didn’t know or couldn’t tell, I’m a summer girl at heart. I’ve been longing for hiking in the mountains, running in shorts, longer days and sitting outside on our deck enjoying a glass of rosé.

Those days are so close, yet so far away. It’s torture waiting for them. The bulbs in my front yard have sprouted which means spring is coming, but I know not to get too excited because I’m sure there are still plenty more snow days ahead. Colorado likes to dump snow up until mid to late May. Half the years we’ve lived here there’s been snow on my birthday, not exactly how I like to celebrate.

It’s back to loading on the layers before I go running, trudging through snow, avoiding ice patches and eating foods that warm me up from the inside out. This Thai Chicken Soup will be on the menu at some point this week and I’m not mad about it.

Now I find myself craving it’s complex flavors frequently.

Thai food and this Thai Chicken Soup in particular hit all the flavor notes. Spiciness from the red curry paste, fresh, bright flavors from the ginger and lemongrass, a touch of sweetness from the honey and umami from the fish sauce. Don’t let the fish sauce freak you out. I’ll admit it does stink if you stick your nose up to the bottle, but what you smell isn’t what you’ll taste once it’s combined with all of the other spices and ingredients.

Aside from everything that goes into the broth, the remaining ingredients are simple. Shredded chicken, mushrooms, a red bell pepper and snow peas. It’s a lighter soup that you’ll probably want something to go along with it, like this Crunchy Thai Cucumber Salad. You could also add rice noodles to the soup to “beef” it up and make it more filling. However you eat it, it’s a wonderful way to warm up during these last couple months of cold weather!
