I had some cooked chicken breast left. Homemade broth is always on stock, noodles also and lemons grows on my own lemon trees.* So I could prepare the following soup (or is it a hotpot?) for The Super Souper Challenge organized by running with tweezers.

If you have all ingredients by hand it's ready in 5 minutes. This is quick, isn't it?

Noodles-Chicken-Lemon-Soup
makes 2



4 dl chicken broth (homemade if possible)
200 g cooked chicken breast, cut into pieces of 1-2 cm
80 g Asian style noodles (ready in 4 minutes)
grated lemon zest of 1 lemon
basil

Bring to boil broth, lemon zest and chicken. Reduce heat add noodles leave to simmer for 4 minutes. Ready to serve!


* Oh no, as soon as I hear/read lemon tree, I remember Fool's Garden song refrain:

I'm sitting here in the boring room
It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon
I'm wasting my time
I got nothing to do
I'm hanging around
I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder

I'm driving around in my car
I'm driving too fast
I'm driving too far
I'd like to change my point of view
I feel so lonely
I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder

I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree
I'm turning my head up and down
I'm turning turning turning turning turning around
And all that I can see is just another lemon-tree
