  I make this loads, really fresh tasting and gorgeous! Can throw in all sorts of vegetables, I usually use spinach, mushrooms and broccoli.

  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!!

  I thought that this was too sweet. I followed the recipe but added some noodles to make it a bit more substantial. Wouldn't make it again.
