Question:

Val and Carol, thank you for the get better wishes.  I’m on day 3 of this cold, so it’s actually on its way out – or it better be, anyway!  Fanks. Val, my soup is as follows (based on a soup I used to enjoy at my local Vietnamese restaurant) : For about 2 portions – 1 pint of water 2 OXO cubes (veg or chicken stock does nicely – chicken if you have a cold, tho!) 2-3 cloves garlic, crushed 1 inch piece of fresh ginger, grated 1 piece of lemon grass (you can get this at Sainsbury’s) 1 "bundle" of egg vermicelli noodles, cooked and drained Any variety of "quick cooking" veg – I use mushrooms (very thinly sliced), bean sprouts, spring onion (thinly sliced), celery (thinly sliced), and chopped pak choi/spinach. Boil the water and add the OXO cubes.  Once the cubes dissolve, add the garlic, ginger, and lemon grass.  Let this simmer for a few minutes (I’d say at least 15 minutes to get the flavours infused to the broth).  Remove the lemon grass, and add the noodles and your veggies.  You just want these to heat through, so remove the pot from the hob.  Chuck it all in a bowl, and that’s it! The ginger, lemon grass, and garlic do wonders for a cold.  The chicken broth does too, but of course it’s better if it’s homemade (more points, though).  All totalled, this soup per bowl is about 2 points, and this is really only from the vermicelli.  I don’t add salt as I find the bouillon is salty enough, plus you don’t want to dehydrate yourself when you’ve got a cold.  I sometimes add a splash of soy sauce to get that salt and extra flavour.  For a couple of extra points, you can add pieces of cooked chicken, prawns, Chinese pork – whatever strikes you. Hope you like it. Cheers, Petal
