Method
1
Pour the chicken stock and water into a large pan. Add the stock powder, tomato purée, chopped tomatoes, finely chopped parsley, chicken pieces and seasoning. Sir together well and bring to the boil.
2
When the stock is boiling, add the noodles. Boil gently until they are cooked – about 15-20 minutes.

Stir in the juice of ½ lemon and simmer a couple of minutes more. Leave to rest for 10-15 minutes – when the noodles will swell nicely.

Serve with a wedge of lemon but make sure there is plenty of fresh, crusty bread!
