As you probably have already guessed from some of my other recipes, I am mostly vegan. This is not due to any political stance – it is purely for health reasons to help lower my ridiculously high cholesterol levels. But I do occasionally eat meat and there is nothing that tastes better on a cold winter’s night when I’m under the weather than chicken noodle soup. I like to add lots of spices to mine. You may want to add more vegetable broth the next day as the noodles will continue to absorb the liquid or you might not.
