  1. Wow! Tried this last night with stock from recipe 171834. We reckon it was worth 7-8 stars. No way it will serve 6, more like 3 as the flavours catch the taste buds. We used fresh egg noodle so they cooked in soup at end, and for our tastes, because of the spice etc flavours, had to give the chicken a bit of a boost with some bouillon powder; but when something tastes this good who cares if its healthy?! Thank you very much English Rose.
