CHICKEN WITH VEGGIES NOODLE SOUP

Picture this...... I am out shopping with my bestie, hubby calls and asks if we will have soup for dinner. Naturally, I agree, since after a tiring, albeit eventful evening, a steaming hot bowl of soup is enough to make the tiredness disappear!

CHICKEN WITH VEGGIES NOODLE SOUP



So, we reach home to the aroma of chicken and veggies being slowly simmered in chicken stock! Ahhh, bless you my dear hubby! Needless to say, we totally ravished it!

This soup is amazingly simple to make. The chopping of the veggies is the only bit of time consuming activity for this dish. But you can prep in advance to save time later. 

You can also prepare a vegetarian version of this soup without chicken.

Egg noodles
3-4 garlic cloves sliced

2-3 red radish
4 tablespoons oil
2 lts water
Salt / pepper to taste.
Coriander / Chives / parsley for garnish

Method:

  • Cut all the veggies into thick strips & the red radish in discs

  • Heat the oil in a saucepan & bring up to heat.
  • Add in the ginger & garlic, briefly fry until the garlic is golden
