Tasty Chicken Noodle Soup

We tried this soup a couple of weeks back and were blown away at how tasty and filling it was! Perfect for all seasons as a light bite or a meal in its own right - what’s not to love!

Quick and simple to make, this soup is best enjoyed fresh.

Ingredients

Serves 2

900ml chicken or vegetable stock (or Miso soup mix)
1 boneless chicken breast (about 175g)
1 tsp chopped fresh ginger (we use ginger paste because we’re lazy)
1 garlic clove finely chopped or pressed
50g rice or wheat noodles
tbsp canned or frozen sweetcorn
2-3 chestnut mushrooms, finely sliced (we put more in because we love a good ‘shroom)
2 spring onions, shredded
2 tsp soy sauce (plus extra for serving)
fresh basil leaves and chilli flakes for serving

Method

Step 1
Pour the stock into a pan and add the chicken breast, ginger and garlic. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat, partly cover and simmer for 20 mins, until the chicken is tender.
Step 2
Put the chicken on a board and shred it into bite-size pieces using a couple of forks. Return the chicken to the stock with the noodles, sweetcorn, mushrooms, spring onion and soy sauce. Simmer for 3-4 mins until the noodles are tender.
Step 3
Ladle into two bowls and scatter over the remaining spring onion, basil leaves and chilli, if using. Serve with extra soy sauce.
