The best part about winter is enjoying dishes like this!

"This creamy chicken noodle soup is like a warm, late-morning lie-in - comforting, cosy and easy to fall in love with. Packed with tender chicken, vibrant vegies and a silky tomato-based broth, it’s the perfect meal for any day of the week. It also makes an excellent meal for friends or family who could use a little extra love. The base stays the same, but honestly, you can throw in any vegies you have on hand. If you’re using starchy vegetables like sweet potato, pumpkin or potatoes, I recommend adding them in with the chicken for the best texture. And, on those lazy days, I’ll admit – I sometimes cheat and grab a supermarket rotisserie chicken. But if I'm feeling fancy, I make parmesan chips to pop on top!" – Khanh Ong  

“Shichimi togarashi is a Japanese spice blend. It’s available from Asian or specialist shops such as Herbie’s (herbies.com.au) or substitute dried chilli flakes” - Shannon Bennett.

This quick meal is a great way to serve the classic combination - steak and mushrooms.

The Chinese have no qualms about slurping noodles loudly. So follow their lead - we think this is worth making noise about.

This vegan noodle soup is a perfect midweek meal. Extracted from 28 Days Vegan by Lisa Butterworth & Amelia Wasiliev, out January 1, 2021 from Smith Street Books, RRP $29.99.
