Lima bean chicken noodle soup

This extra ordinary chicken soup is made with Cauliflower noodles...not your every day store bough noodles.
I made the noodles from the dough I made for the cauliflower Gnocchi and instead of making gnocchi's out of the dough, I flattened it to 1/8 inch thick circles and cut into strips 1/8 inch wide and 1.5 inches long.
