Chock full of garlic, ginger and turmeric as well as veggies and fresh chicken- just the Health Tonic you need to add to your weekly meal plan!
As we move into the flu season, and try to remain on top of new COVID strains, this is exactly the type of strengthening food we all need to be enjoying. My kids will eat anything with noodles in it, so I’ve added some of these just to make sure the smaller people in our homes are going to get into this health action as well.
Double the recipe and you’ll have plenty to send to school with your kids in a thermos, or pack to take as a work lunch. It used to be an apple a day that kept the doctor away, but watch out apples, there's a new dish in town and it’s taking your crown!
Ingredients
2 Tbsp olive oil
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion diced
2 large carrots, peeled and diced
2 stalks celery, roughly chopped
1 Tbsp fresh ginger, minced 1 Tbsp fresh turmeric, minced (can substitute for powdered turmeric)
1.5 L chicken stock (use chicken bone broth if possible)
6 skinless chicken thighs, trimmed of excess fat or sinew
½ tsp salt
½ tsp fresh cracked black pepper
1 cup frozen peas and corn
400g thin dried wheat noodles
2 bunches coriander, cut the root off 5cm from the bottom and set aside, then roughly chop the stalks and leaves
4 Tbsp light soy (or to taste)
1 Tbsp sesame oil (or to taste)
4 spring onion, trimmed then sliced finely into rounds
Method
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to the boil and cook your noodles following packet directions.
Once chicken is cooked, remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a cutting board to shred with two forks.
Cooks Notes
Style
I’m loving this huge sage green pot by Anko for Kmart and not just because it matches my kitchen, but it’s also a generous size so you can double batch recipes or cook a big pot of pasta.
There’s nothing like being delivered a warm bowl of soup on the couch. The Heritage tray from Myer is perfect for eating on the move with fold down legs so you can enjoy a sneaky meal in bed on the couch or even outside.
