Questions about Noodle soup
How do you stop the noodles going soggy in noodle soup?
Cook the noodles separately until just tender, drain them, then divide them between bowls and pour over hot broth just before serving. This is especially useful if you are making the soup ahead or expect leftovers.
Can you cook noodles directly in the soup?
Yes, if you are serving it straight away: add the noodles to simmering broth and cook for the time on the packet, usually a few minutes. They release starch into the broth and continue softening as the soup stands.
What can you add to noodle soup to make it more filling?
Add cooked chicken, tofu, a boiled egg or prawns, plus vegetables such as pak choi, mushrooms or spring onions. Put raw meat in early enough to cook through; add quick-cooking vegetables near the end so they stay bright.
How do you store leftover noodle soup?
For the best texture, store the broth and noodles separately in covered containers in the fridge and use within 3 days. Reheat the broth until steaming, then add the noodles; if they are already mixed in, they will soften as they sit.
Can you freeze noodle soup?
Freeze the broth without the noodles for better results, leaving room in the container for expansion. Defrost it in the fridge, bring it to a simmer, and cook fresh noodles in it or add separately cooked ones.
What is the difference between noodle soup and ramen?
Ramen is a particular Japanese noodle soup, commonly made with wheat noodles in a seasoned broth and served with toppings such as sliced pork, egg and spring onions. Noodle soup is a broader term for soups with noodles in many styles of broth.
Can you use rice noodles instead of wheat noodles in noodle soup?
Yes. Rice noodles work well in clear broths and soups with Southeast Asian flavours; soak or cook them as directed on the packet, then add them to the bowl shortly before serving so they do not become mushy.
How does noodle soup compare with plain noodles for energy?
Noodle soup has 90 kcal per 100 g, compared with 120 kcal in plain noodles. The soup includes broth, so the two foods are not equivalent portions.
