Cheap, easy, one pot, takes only\u00a05 minutes\u00a0and nutritious. There are so many variations to this soup. The key here is that it is a soup of which you can throw in ANYTHING. So what will you need?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Noodles<\/li>\n<li>Stock<\/li>\n<li>Vegetables<\/li>\n<li>Meat or seafood (optional)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Vegetables<\/strong>: Make this soup to get rid of vegetables that are getting a bit old in the fridge. You can pack it with as many vegetables as you can, or as little as you have on hand. Vegetables such as: Mushrooms-Bok choy-Spring Onion-Cabbage-Broccoli-Carrot-Capsicum-Mushroom-Bean Sprouts-Zuccini&#8230;just to name a few.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Noodles:\u00a0<\/strong>are a great form of energy. We have so many to choose from now including: Wholemeal &#8211; Buckwheat-Soba-Udon-Singapore-Egg-Rice-Vermicelli. Always read the packet and choose noodles low in fat. Noodles less with less than 2grams\u00a0of fat per 100 grams are a healthy option. Always read the label of noodles, as many noodles are deep fried before being packaged and can have up to 20 grams of fat per serve.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recipe Guide\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Noodles of your choice (we love wholemeal noodles as they are low Gi and have more fibre). Read packet of noodles to determine a serve size<\/p>\n<p>2 Cups Stock per person. See <a href=\"http:\/\/wp.me\/p2pJ9q-bV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a> for our chicken stock recipe<\/p>\n<p>1 can Shitake\u00a0mushrooms (or 2 cups of dried shitake mushrooms available from the Asian section of all supermarkets, soaked in boiling water for 1 hour).<\/p>\n<p>1 can bamboo shoots<\/p>\n<p>1 can water chestnuts<\/p>\n<p>1 bunch Bok Choy<\/p>\n<p>100 grams of meat per person (optional). Our favourite is chicken thigh, but you could also use chicken breast, duck, sliced beef or pork.<\/p>\n<p>METHOD:<\/p>\n<p>In a pot, cook noodles in boiling water to manufacturers instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water\u00a0and set aside.<\/p>\n<p>Using the same pot, bring the stock to the boil.<\/p>\n<p>If using meat, add the chopped meat and cook through. Cooking time will vary according to thickness of meat. If you are cooking chicken thigh in 1 cm cubes, this should take only 2 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Add any hard vegetables which will take the longest, such as carrot first. A minute later add all other vegetables. The vegetables should only take 1 or 2 minutes to cook through.<\/p>\n<p>When vegetables are done (make sure they are still lovely and crispy), place a handful of noodles in the bottom of a serving bowl. Ladle the soup, vegetables and noodles over the noodles.<\/p>\n<p>Top with thinly sliced shallot.<\/p>\n<p>Other additions you might like to try: Cubes of tofu, top with Vietnamese\u00a0mint or coriander, add won tons. Be adventurous and try lots of different combinations.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_784\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-784\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thenutritionguruandthechef.files.wordpress.com\/2012\/06\/soup.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-784\" title=\"soup\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/thenutritionguruandthechef.files.wordpress.com\/2012\/06\/soup.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"437\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-784\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Buckwheat noodles with beef, pork won\u00a0tons, shitake\u00a0mushrooms, zuccini, broccoli and bamboo shoots<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_785\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-785\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thenutritionguruandthechef.files.wordpress.com\/2012\/06\/soup1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-785\" title=\"soup1\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/thenutritionguruandthechef.files.wordpress.com\/2012\/06\/soup1.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"936\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-785\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Char siu\u00a0pork, pork won\u00a0tons, shitake mushroom, tofu and spinach soup.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Stay happy and healthy&#8230;The Nutrition Guru and The Chef.<\/p>\n<p>Take a peek at our<\/p>\n<ul class=\"zemanta-article-ul\">\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thenutritionguruandthechef.wordpress.com\/2012\/06\/17\/immune-boosting-cold-and-flu-busting-chicken-soup\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Immune Boosting-Cold and Flu Busting &#8211; Chicken Soup<\/a> (thenutritionguruandthechef.wordpress.com)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is our favourite dish to make at home in the whole wide world.
