QUICK AND EASY THAI SOUP (CHICKEN)

Quick and Easy Thai Soup (Chicken) image

Ready in 30 minutes! A really yummy soup of Thai influence. Since posting this recipe I have cooked it many times & it's now become a firm favourite. when I make it these days I make the following changes: 1. swap 1/4 tsp homemade harissa for the chilli's 2. swap 1L water mixed with 2 chicken stock cubes for the 800 ml stock 3. only use 1 tsp sugar, swap 250g fresh rice noodles for the 300g egg noodles 4. use extra curry powder 5. use oyster sauce in place of fish sauce. I also cook it for about 8-10 minutes longer so all the flavours really meld well.
