Method

  1. Pour the stock into a pan and add the chicken, ginger and garlic. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat, partly cover and simmer for 20 mins, until the chicken is tender. Remove the chicken to a board and shred into bite-size pieces using a couple of forks.
  2. Return the chicken to the stock with the noodles, corn, mushrooms, half the spring onions and the soy sauce. Simmer for 3-4 mins until the noodles are tender. Ladle into two bowls and scatter over the remaining spring onions, herbs and chilli shreds if using. Serve with extra soy sauce for sprinkling.

Make it vegetarian

Replace the chicken with 175g/6oz firm tofu cut into cubes, simmer for 5 mins, then add the other ingredients as before.

    Should I use 50g of fresh or dried noodles. I'm also thinking about adding some beansprouts. Anyone tried this?

    I doubled the ingredients as suggested. I added more thinly sliced red chili to add colour. We (3 people) really liked it, and was just what we needed on a very cold day. And still have enough for tomorrow. Would definitely make it again.

    Oh yum! I added a bit more soy, 2 tsb brown sugar and tbsp dry sherry to add to the flavour of the stock. I also used last night's roast chicken. This will surely become a firm household favourite to warm up cold evenings!

    Have just made for lunch. Pimped it up a bit with coriander, mint and sliced red chilli. Added more stock than suggested otherwise too little broth. Will be making batches for lunches as even my teenage daughter liked it! And LOW FAT!!!!!

    My family love this and it's so simple, leftovers are even better the next day. Also made for starter at dinner party and they loved it too. I prefer to add a little extra liquid.

    This is the third time I've used this recipe and it never fails. Lunch for the week sorted out!I leave out the chilli though, cause i'm a bit of a wimp when it comes to spicy food!

    This is a great soup, delicious and easy. After reading other comments I added extra glass noodles and swapped shredded chilli with some chilli flakes. Used leftbover roast chicken pulled to pieces just as good without cooking the chicken in stock. Would recommended!
