Haven’t got long for dinner? Barely got anything in the cupboards? Soup is an inexpensive way to make everything last a lot longer and it’s the best thing to heat up in the winter. 

Ingredients 3 small boneless chicken breasts 1.2 litres/ 2 pints of water 3 carrots 85g of noddles 4 chicken stock cubes

Optional additions Fresh coriander Frozen spinach Handful of broccoli 

Method

Fill a large saucepan with the water, drop in your stock cubes, add a pinch of salt, then your chicken breasts. Bring this to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes. Skim any foam from the surface, then remove the chicken breasts to cut into pieces.
