After a long day … made even longer by cold weather and snow delays … a simple and tasty soup that is all about freshness and flavour.
Quick prawn noodle soup (for one)
- Boil 85g thick rice noodles for about 6 minutes or until al dente, then drain.
- Put 500ml hot chicken or vegetable stock in a pan with a tsp of fish sauce, the juice of 1/2 a lime, a star anise & a pinch of sugar.
- Bring to the boil and add the noodles and a handful of small raw prawns.
- Warm through, then pour into a bowl and top with a handful of mint and coriander leave and some chopped red chilli.
(We don’t like talking about calories too much but this is only about 250 calories a bowl and has no saturated fat – we felt very good (and full) after eating it).

Yum! This looks amazing. And lovely and quick too. Might give it a go tomorrow evening, if I can get the star anise tomorrow. I’m sure I’ll find it in the Asian Food Co around the corner. Win!
It won’t go to waste we have used star anise loads recently – nice Christmassy spice 🙂
