A bowl of this restorative turkey noodle soup is the perfect antidote to the cold winter weather. Ready in just 25 minutes, it's light and full of fresh veggies and herbs, while the combination of chilli and ginger adds warmth.
Don't have leftover turkey to hand? No problem, this recipe works just as well with shredded chicken, or sub vegetable stock and tofu to make it suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
450 g turkey breast fillet, sliced into thin strips
1 Tbsp. fish sauce
1/4 head Savoy cabbage, finely shredded
100 g rice noodles
Large handful bean sprouts
Juice of 1 lime
1 large red chilli, deseeded and thinly sliced
4 spring onions, sliced
Large handful each fresh coriander and mint, roughly chopped
Directions
Step 1
Bring the stock to the boil in a large pan. Add the ginger, garlic and turkey and simmer for 5min.
Step 2
Stir in the fish sauce, cabbage and noodles and cook for 3min (check turkey is cooked). Add bean sprouts, lime juice and most of the chilli and spring onions. Check seasoning. Divide among four bowls, garnish with herbs, remaining chilli and spring onions. Serve immediately.
