Noodle Soup

Nice and simple but tasty noodle soup

4 cups vegetable boullion (I use marigold swiss vegetable boullion)
1/2 Leek finely shredded length ways (keep strips about 2 inches long)
chives cut into 2 inch lengths
1 little gem lettuce shredded
1 portion of rice noodles (can be left whole or cut into 2 inch lengths)
2 teaspoons soy sauce
Either 1 cooked chicken breast finely shredded or 1 portabello mushrom thinly sliced.

Boil some water and pour over the rice noodles and leave to stand (they take about 5 mins). Heat boullion in pan and add leeks, simmer for a few minutes. Add the chives, drained noodles, soy and chicken/mushroom and simmer for another few minutes. Then add the lettuce for the last 2 minutes of cooking. Then serve.

All measurements are approximate, vary them depending on how you like it

Today I had the large stalk from a head of broccoli left over so I shredded it very thinly and added it at the same time as the leeks.

Must admit that is why I buy sushi, I feel it might be too much work for one. I have had a bit of a craving of late and have had it 4 times this week already

The tesco veggie one isn't bad. It's about 90p for 4 pieces though. Not exactly cheap but OK if you want a treat. It was the california rolls for me earlier this week. Today it was just the small selection.

Mmmmm, that looks fantastic. I always make myself soup for work, so I might have to try some of this as it looks like a nice change from tomato based soups.

I absolutely LOVE sushi! Just wondering why the non-veggies are having the vegie sushi? If you just like it then fair enough, but if you're all "bleurgh" about raw fish, they don't actually use it in most shop-bought sushi. It's just cooked prawns, smoked salmon (OK that's raw, but it's also very common) and cooked tuna. I've been meaning to make sushi for ages. I bought a sushi rolling mat a while ago and intended on buying a little bit of sushi apparatus every time I went shopping, but it kinda stopped after that. Will have to get the rest of the stuff and have a go
