Just add water homemade 'soup'

SmlSave

I had this idea and wondered what you thought, if you'd every seen/done this:

I thought I could finely chop some veg plus rice noodles plus stock and some flavorings (herbs, thai paste etc) take it to work and then just add hot water for a decent lunchtime soup.

Do you think it would work?

does this help? I know you wanted more of a soup but these would be more substantial.

the veg would still be crunchy but I think that it would work. It would probably be best to use stock powder rather than cubes, something like this:

Wow thanks those links are really helpful. I thought someone must have thought of doing this before.

I know Hugh did quite a few gorgeous varieties. Lots of flavours work really well. Have a look on google and I'm sure you will find lots of suggestions.

I use cheap packets of Chinese noodles that come with a soup base, add boiling water, microwave for 3 minutes and then add a handful of frozen veg (peas, broccoli, sweetcorn etc) and nuke for another minute. Voila! Healthy lunch for about 70p.
