7 So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD and struck Job with loathsome sores from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head.

8 And he took a piece of broken pottery with which to scrape himself while he sat in the ashes.

9 Then his wife said to him, "Do you still hold fast your integrity? Curse God and die."

10 But he said to her, "You speak as one of the foolish women would speak. Shall we receive good from God, and shall we not receive evil?" In all this Job did not sin with his lips. - Job 2:7-10

Spicy Thai Chicken and Shrimp Noodle Soup

11 Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content.

12 I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need.

13 I can do all things through him who strengthens me. - Philippians 4:11-13

2 T roasted garlic

1 t Cilantro 

Pinch of red pepper flakes

1 t anchovy paste 

1 t olive oil

2 t chicken base seasoning 

1/2 t chili oil

2 t sweet chili Thai sauce

1 t toasted sesame oil

2 t palm sugar 

1 T mushroom soy sauce

Veggies

1/4 c leeks

1/4 c Cabbage 

1/4 c mushrooms 

1/4 c carrots

2 T red bell pepper

6 broccoli florets, add at the end

Meats

2 chicken tenderloins or more, sliced thin on diagonal 

6 Shrimp, add at the end

Your desired amount of Pasta, I used angel hair but rice noodles would be great

1 qt water or more ( if it's too spicy for you add a cup or 2 of water

I added my olive oil to pot, heated, then added leeks, bell peppers, mushrooms, cabbage, and carrots. Sauté 1 minute on med heat. To this I added all the list of spices, Thai sauce, soy, chili oil, the chicken and the water. Cook 15 minutes then add pasta. At this point get a teaspoon of broth, smell it first, then cool and taste. You can adjust the palm sugar by a half teaspoon if it's too spicy. Cook 5 minutes on low then add shrimp and broccoli. Cut off heat and stir around so shrimp will cook. Enjoy!
