It included peanut butter pumpkin curry noodle.&#160; It was\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6strange. But mostly good.&#160; At first, the flavor of the sauce was very off-putting, but once we thinned it out and added a bit more peanut butter, it was pretty tasty and made a nice side to the coconut shrimp soup we made.&#160; This was a really light, pretty soup that I enjoyed quite a bit and had for leftovers the next day.&#160; In the original version of the soup, the shrimp was cooked perfectly, nice and soft, but of course when reheated it got a tiny bit rubbery.
