1. Put the vinegar, stock, soy sauce, sugar (start with 1 tsp and add the second at the end if you want the soup sweeter), ginger, chillies and spring onions in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cook for a minute then add the prawns and cook until they turn pink.
2. Stir in the watercress and turn off the heat. Taste and add more sugar if you like.

  We found it tastier with the veg stock rather than the chicken and I reduced the quantity to around 350 ml for the two of us but kept the same quantities of all other ingredients, which helped with the extra spicyness. Also I didn't bother with the watercress but added some chopped mushrooms at same time as spring onions and everything else. I also used larger chillies as my other half likes it hot hot hot! Really tasty and so few calories - a dieter's dream!!
