Curried Coconut Noodles with Early Summer Vegetables

This is a recipe I modified from the book From Asparagus to Zucchini.  Other veggies can be easily switched out based on what you have.  You can use either regular or light coconut milk and the dish still works.

8 ounces egg noodles

Gingered Carrot & Apricot Soup

This soup is awesome for early summer as the weather is warming up, and you start thinking that making something hot for dinner is just not the thing to do.
