Mmm...soup...er, I mean noodle soup!

I like to cook. I prefer quick recipes that have some nutritional value. But I don't like them to taste "nutritional".

I made the most delicious chicken noodle soup with an Asian motif and I am going to share:

Ingredients:


3 cups chicken stock
3-4 cups water
grated fresh ginger, to taste
2-6 cloves of garlic, to taste
2-3 T. soy sauce
2 small red chillies, thinly sliced
2-3 chicken breasts
approx 1 lb hokkien noodles (or any noodle, really)
fresh asparagus, maybe a 1/2 lb.,
cut into bite-sized pieces
4 green onions, chopped

This really only takes about 20-25 minutes. Seriously.
1)Combine stock, water, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, and chillies into a large pot; cover, bring to a boil.
2)Add raw chicken breasts, bring back to a boil. Then simmer for about 15 minutes when the chicken should be cooked through. Remove chicken from stock mixture.
3)Return stock mixture to boil, add noodles, separate noodles with a fork. Add asparagus and some of the green onion. Simmer, until noodles are tender.
4)Meanwhile, slice up the chicken.
5)Divide noodles and soup into serving bowls and top with chicken slices; may also top with raw green onion and chillies if you like that sort of thing.


There is only 6g of fat per serving, this recipe serves 3-4 people.

And I thought it was delicious and so did Cybr (and he isn't a big fan of veggies).

This is the end result:
