I know I’m in the minority here, but the blistering cold of a New York City winter doesn’t phase me. I LOVE the cold. I love the layers of clothing, I love the holidays which to be frank must have been invented to bring cheer to one of the most gloomy seasons of the year (IMHO).

But the food! Oh, the food. From stews, to pasta to casseroles and roasts—winter is the time to indulge and get cozy in the kitchen! Should you eat that perfectly swirled pasta? Yes. Should you gnaw on the bone of a roast? Yes. Should you slurp on that noodle soup? Absolutely! Which brings me to this week’s Community Recipe, @elfoodielife’s Chinese Five Spice Beef Noodle Soup! The moment I looked at the ingredients and recipe, I knew I had to share this with you.

Never tried hoisin? Give it a taste because I know you’re going to love its sweet punch of umami. Curious about five-spice? It’s the warm Chinese spice mix you need in your pantry! Most grocery stores carry both these days and if not, you can find them easily online. Now go forth and slurp up a bowl of this heavenly soup and you’ll slowly learn to enjoy the cold season as much as I do!
