I made this recipe with my in-laws when they came to visit us in November and it has been a favorite of ours ever since.  Everyone we have made it for loves it, and we will usually make a double batch so we can have left overs for lunches during the week.  This recipe is gluten-free, egg-free, and dairy free, and is perfect way to take the edge off a cold winter's night!

On my way home from work I picked up some kelp noodles for the first time ever and then decided to make my own chicken noodle soup.  The kelp noodles may take some getting used to, they are a little rubbery for my palate, but not too bad.  The fact that this recipe was super easy AND contains seven of the Top Ten Candida Fighting Foods makes it a worthwhile recipe.  I served it with the Herb Crackers of Elana's Pantry fame- so good! http://www.elanaspantry.com/vegan-herb-crackers/#
