CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP FOR ONE

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.

Ingredients

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.
