Thumbnail image for lime.JPGReader jestrfyl posted on The Health Secrets of Lemons that limes are just as healing as lemons–and more intensely flavored.  I say amen, J – which brings me back to chicken soup.

Seriously!  Vietnamese cuisine has long paired limes (and basil, yummmm) with chicken soup.  So next time you want to mix it up a bit, substitute rice vermicelli for your soup noodles, tear up some basil, and give your elixir a generous squeeze of lime. 

It’s a bowl of restoration, trust me.
