Chicken & lemongrass broth with udon noodles

Our sister Michaela loves making this Asian noodle soup when it is her turn to cook. Asian broths are so simple to make and are really easily adapted to how you like them, by adding or leaving out flavours as you wish.

My family love this recipe. It is always a hit! I drop my son Max off to football and can make this recipe and have the kitchen clean by the time I pick him up. A hump day favourite
