Home-made Asian chicken noodle and corn soup.  I use pre-cooked smoked chicken breast, diced, can of corn kernels, baby bok choy, chopped water chestnut, a coupla chicken stock cubes dissolved in boiling water, udon noodles and some sliced spring onions.  Add a handful of spice (I have my own blend that I roast and grind) put everything in a pot and heat for five minutes.  It was yummy, with enough left over for breakfast tomorrow!
