Salmon Noodle Soup

This meal totally hit the spot. I'm not sure where I got the idea from. At some point after I purchased about 3lbs of salmon I realized I wanted soup. Eventually it led to this. Let me tell you something: this was super good and I'll be making it, or a variation of it for a long time. I served this warm, but the next day I ate it straight out of the fridge and it was DELICIOUS chilled!

*Those little things in the upper left portion of the bowl are panko crusted zucchini chips, which I'll go over in a few days...Have no fear!
