Method
- In a large, deep saucepan, melt the butter over a low-medium heat. Add the leeks, carrots and celery, then season with salt. Gently fry for 10 minutes, stirring regularly, until the veg has coloured a little and softened slightly. You may need to turn down the heat a little if the vegetables start to burn.
- Add the garlic and ginger, then cook for a minute before pouring in the stock. Bring the soup to a simmer and gently bubble for 10 minutes or until the vegetables are nearly cooked.
- Crumble the noodles into the soup, then add the shredded chicken and lemon juice. Taste and season with salt and pepper, then simmer for 2-3 minutes more until the noodles are tender. Garnish with fresh flatleaf parsley, if you like.
