Chicken Noodle Soup – It WILL Heal You*

As always, we’re committed to giving you recipes, not our life stories, so I’ll be brief…

We’ve all been afflicted with ‘man flu’ recently and a big bowl of placebo-soup fixed us right up.

*(There is a bit of science in its healing powers, but it might not heal you.)

Make a big batch, if you’ve got a GSN Insulated Flask, take it with you!

If you’re more a watcher than a reader, there’s a Youtube Short at the bottom of this page.

What You Need:

• 3 Ready Cooked Chicken Breasts
• 1L Chicken broth (grab it from the butcher if possible)
• 200g Noodles or long pasta – Use what you’ve got lying about or we recommend a nice fat Udon noodle
• 2 Carrots
• 2 Celery Sticks
• 1 Leek
• 1 Garlic bulb
• 1 Large onion

How To Do It:

1. Defrost your chicken in the fridge overnight
2. Add broth to a large pot, halve the garlic horizontally and throw it in, turn the heat on low
3. Slice carrots, celery, leek and onion
4. Gently pan fry the veg to sweeten and soften – don’t brown them, add to broth.
5. Roughly shred the chicken – we find pulling it apart with two forks works well! Add to the broth and turn the heat to medium.
6. When it starts to bubble, add your pasta/noodles and simmer for one minute less than the pack states.
7. Serve, avoiding the garlic bulbs.
