Simple soba noodle soup

Soba noodles are made of buckwheat as well as regular wheat and
have a subtle ‘healthy’ flavour. Most other noodles could be used here if
you prefer. Likewise, the veg can be varied to suit your taste (and what
you have in the fridge!) baby spinach would be lovely.
Remember that the noodles are going to keep cooking in the broth after
you’ve served up so best to slightly undercook first.

• 1 1/2 cups vegetable stock
• handful soba noodles (approx 50g or 2oz)
• 3 heads baby bok choy, leaves separated
• large pinch chilli flakes, optional
• 1 – 2 tablespoons soy sauce

Bring stock to the boil in a medium saucepan. Add noodles and
simmer for 2 minutes.
Add bok choy and chilli and 1T soy sauce and simmer for another
minute or until noodles are only just cooked (see note above).
Remove from the heat. Taste and add extra soy if needed. Serve
hot.
