Chicken Miso Noodle Soup

My Chicken Miso Noodle Soup is a soothing and nourishing recipe to feed your soul and gut health. It is quick and easy to whip up if you are feeling run down or you need something warming to settle your tummy. You’lll find it a perfect choice to eat after periods of indulgence such as eating too many rich foods.

You can use fresh or frozen chicken stock made from the bones of your Sunday roast (or turkey stock made from your Christmas turkey). Equally you can use turkey or chicken meat leftovers. If you are in rush you can use a chicken stock cube, but remember you won’t get so many of the health properties that home-made stock offers.

Turkey and chicken are a great source of tryptophan which in turn makes serotonin, our happy neurotransmitter, so this makes a perfect cheery meal if you are feeling a bit low. The ginger is the tummy settler, and also helps with immunity. The miso and tamari soya sauce are fermented foods that helps to build a healthy gut microbiome.
