Woolies Pantry

I really love what I do and getting paid for it, so I can keep doing what I love, makes me one really lucky girl. But sometimes my job takes me well into the night, and last night was one of those days.

I came home after 9pm, starving and with no energy to make myself a bowl of something hot and wholesome from scratch.

Then I remembered a Woolworths’ Fresh Asian Noodle soup mix that we recently shot for TASTE (the May issue with the gorgeous spicy pink cover), and that I still had a packet in my kitchen cupboard.

Everything is super fresh and super tasty, all I needed to do was add all of the ingredients to a saucepan with 1 L of water and slowly cook for about 35 minutes for a light and comforting Asian-style noodle broth. It felt so good to bite into crunchy mangetout and fresh red pepper knowing that it took minutes to make and my body was getting the nutrients it needed to get me through the next day.

Each packet is enough to generously feed four people, and I’m sure it’s going to become a regular in my home this winter. You can easily jazz of bulk it up by adding shredded, cooked chicken or boiled eggs and serve with prawn crackers.

I also can’t get enough of Woolworths Fresh Spanish Chorizo and bean soup, it’s gloriously spicy and has a robust, smokey flavour from the chorizo. I often add freshly chopped chilli with lots of fresh rocket and sometimes I even crumble a bit of feta in it for lunch at the office.

I hope you have a happy Monday and a great week.
