I was
inspired to make this simple but healthy Asian
Chicken Noodle Soup by my having just made some Chicken
& Celery Stock.
This stock
formed the base of the soup. For
flavouring I added fish sauce/salt (no salt in the stock), pepper and Chines
Cooking Wine (if you don't have that some sherry would be just fine).
When the
soup is simmering add your egg noodles – they'll need around 5 to 6 minutes to
cook (more or less depending on their thickness). 4 minutes before the end add your washed baby
silverbeet. Because it is baby
silverbeet you don't need to de-stalk it.
Simple but
satisfying.
What a simple, yet comforting meal. I don't think I've seen baby silverbeet here, but we get good beets with fresh leaves which I picked up yesterday.
ReplyDeleteClaudio, baby Silverbeet is most similar to baby spinach. Cheers
DeleteNothing as soup-inspiring as some really good stock! I had the same thought at lunch today; the stock became black bean and mushroom soup.

This sounds so good. I've been eating a lot of really heavy food lately and this sounds so simple and light but still comforting. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds delicious on a cool rainy day. I was thinking of substituting baby spinach, so I'm glad to know I was on the right track :)
ReplyDeleteI love soup. That looks good!
ReplyDeleteI too love simple soups. I would likely use spinach or Swiss chard because I've never seen silverbeet for sale here.
ReplyDeleteHa, ha. I just looked up silverbeet -- it IS chard.
ReplyDeleteI was about to ask about silverbeet but you explained. I like this one.
ReplyDeleteOh my husband would LOVE this! Though I'm not sure what silverbeet is. :) Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing like a good noodle soup to comfort and nourish. Looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteBTW--I do a weekly soup (salad and sandwiches too) link up on my blog called Souper Sundays that posts every Sunday afternoon for the following week if you ever want to join in. ;-)

Nothing says comfort like a bowl of chicken noodle soup :)
ReplyDeletePerfect timing - I'm getting ready to make a big pot of chicken stock. This will be fun to try.
