Summer Soup {Quick Sweet Corn Vermicelli Soup Recipe}

Sweet Corn Vermicelli Soup 

We love soup.  Any time of year.  It's comforting, it's easy and it can be a quick weeknight fix.  This is a great light summer dinner that incorporates the great fresh corn that is in abundance right now and also is simplified by grabbing one of those great roasted chickens that your grocery store deli always has on hand.

It's Only Wok & Roll But I Like It {Sweet Chili Chicken Stirfry}

Sweet Chili Chicken Stirfry

I've really got a thing for my Asian Sweet Chili Sauce these days.... so, when I saw Pass the Sushi's Pork stir fry this week I thought..... I see a Sweet Chili Sauce opportunity.  And I went for it.... I completely credit this stir fry to her recipe because even though I changed up the main components, I stayed true to her sauce, which is to die for.
