If I’m not specifically making chicken stock to store in the freezer, I like to cook a bigger pot of chicken soup (ABC, chicken-radish and the like) so that I can keep the extra soup for another meal the next day – really saves time and effort! I don’t really like using store-bought stocks because of their high sodium content (and artificial flavourings) so having a fresh one on standby is definitely a much healthier option since I can adjust the amount of salt that goes into it. And yes, this Chicken Udon Noodle Soup is one of such recipes that I’ve made for lunch using leftover chicken soup. Tasty, healthy and so easy to make. Enjoy!
