A bowl of this restorative turkey noodle soup is the perfect antidote to the cold winter weather. Ready in just 25 minutes, it's light and full of fresh veggies and herbs, while the combination of chilli and ginger adds warmth.
Don't have leftover turkey to hand? No problem, this recipe works just as well with shredded chicken, or sub vegetable stock and tofu to make it suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
Large handful each fresh coriander and mint, roughly chopped
