  • 900ml chicken or vegetable stock (or Miso soup mix)
  • 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast (about 175g)
  • 1 tsp chopped fresh ginger
  • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
  • 50g rice or wheat noodles

How To Make Chicken Noodles Soup

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.

2

Put the chicken on a board and shred 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.

3

Ladle into two bowls and scatter over the remaining spring onion, mint or
basil leaves and chilli, if using. Serve with extra soy sauce.
