Chicken Noodle Soup for One image

Home alone? This is a superfast soup that is meant to feed one person - that's right, one. Soy sauce, sherry and ginger give tang and heat to the broth, and udon noodles lend a decidedly Asian feel. And with the added flavors of chicken, spinach and sugar-snap peas, it's healthy and filling.

Time 10m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 5-ounce chicken breast, sliced into strips to yield about 3/4 cup
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon sake, sherry or white wine
1/2 teaspoon minced ginger
1/4 cup baby corn in 1-inch pieces
1 long red chili, seeded and finely sliced into rings
1 scallion, finely sliced into rings
1 cup baby spinach
8 ounces fresh or cooked udon noodles
1/2 cup sugar snap peas

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, heat chicken broth. In a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, cook chicken strips without any oil until they are opaque, then add soy sauce and sake, allowing them to reduce slightly. Add chicken and sauce to broth.
  • Increase heat to medium, and bring to a boil. Add ginger, corn, chili, scallion, spinach, noodles and peas. Simmer mixture for a minute or two until vegetables are tender and noodles, if fresh, have cooked, or if cooked, are reheated. Serve.
