Vietnamese Chicken Loodoo Soup
About 30 some years ago, I was a bi-lingual aid working with pupils of 1st, 2nd and 3rd grades at Cook Elementary school in Garden Grove. There was a little girl that I don’t remember the name but I can still vividly remember her pretty and smiling face. She was a first grader. She used to say fi for five, ri for rice. And she said loodoo for noodles. No s at the end. I thought it was so cute. I tried to help her to say noodles correctly. But in a conversation, she would just forget and so noodles would be loodoo...with no s.
Today, I don’t know why but I feel like to make some Vietnamese Chicken Loodoo Soup. I miss her.

#Mycookbook Delish soup that I've been perfecting over the past couple years. Play with the amounts of your favorite ingredients to make it your own. I love lemongrass and ginger so I tend to add a bit more than outlined below. .. Also you could use your fave red curry paste in place of the sambal :)

Wicked Thai chicken soup Wicked Thai chicken soup
My workplace has this soup every Friday. I didn't just want to wait till Friday of the following week to have the soup so I hunted a recipe down! A mention about the lemon grass, remove the outer layers, finely chop a length about 4-5 inches long, then chop it again! Or put it in one of those mini choppers if you have one.. you want it as finely chopped as possible. And last but not least, thank you as always to my hubby for the photography of my cooking!!
