Want to know a no-brainer? It’s me participating in the JSL Foods Fortune Noodle Blogger Recipe Challenge. Already a lover and consumer of Chef Yaki’s healthy wholesome products it just makes sense to be in this mix stirring the pot. Plus the challenge involves noodles and soup. After my husband and my children and my grandchildren…noodles and soup are next in line of things that I love.
Fortune Noodle products are developed with a focus on flavor, noodle texture, 4 simple ingredients and convenience. They are sure to inspire both authentic Asian and fusion recipes. Today, I am featuring a nutritious, winter-warmer-upper soup made easy with these versatile noodles.
Indian in origin, Mulligatawny soup is a creamy chicken soup flavored with curry and apples. Traditionally it calls for rice, but I switch out the rice for wholesome udon noodles and boost the healthfulness and spice with a bit of turmeric. Husband, daughter and son-in-law approved I like to call it my Souper Bowl of soup.
This soup could not be easier to prepare. Simply chop, sauté and simmer and you will have the most delicious, healthy bowl of soup in about 20 minutes. Yes, you can use lite coconut milk, if you prefer. Further, for ease of preparation, I use leftover cooked chicken or pick the meat from a deli roasted chicken.

Cool bowls. Great presentation as always.
Good day for soup! Enjoy the game.
I’m going to try this Lisa, but I’ve got to leave out the curry. I just don’t like it. I’m sure it will be great. Looks yummy.
The flavor packet that comes with the soup will provide plenty of good aroma
🙂 Do you know my supermarket doesn’t carry it? Will look online.
