Number Of Ingredients 15

1 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp grated ginger (from jar is fine)
1/2 tsp crushed garlic (from jar is fine)
3 stalk(s) spring onion, finely chopped
1 stick celery, halved lengthways and finely chopped
1/4 red or green pepper, finely chopped
1 1/2 c sliced button mushrooms
1 c frozen peas and corn (or any frozen veg)
2 c chicken stock (liquid or made with large cube)
1 tsp lemon juice (optional)
1 tsp dijon mustard or dried mild mustard powder
1 tsp dried parsley or a bit more if fresh
2 pkg maggi 2 minute noodles, chicken flavour
1 c lite cream (or evaporated milk is ok)
1/2 barbeque chicken (or any leftover cooked)

Steps:

1. Prepare all vegetables and place in a small bowl.
2. Pull the flesh off the chicken with your fingers, into strips, and place into another small bowl.
3. In a large frying pan add the oil, ginger and garlic and when hot add all the vegetables. Stir until they are softened (about 5 minutes).
4. Add lemon juice, mustard and parsley and stir through.
5. Add chicken stock and then 2 minute noodles (you can use one of the flavor sachets if your stock isn't strong enough). Then crumble the dried noodles into the pan. Stir through until all are softened, about 2 minutes.
6. Add the lite cream and the chicken pieces and adjust the liquid if needed (use a little more cream or milk or even hot water). When all is heated through, serve in soup bowls with a fork.
