CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP FOR ONE
I know there's a bazillion chicken noodle soup recipes in here but this one's different. I found this Nigella Lawson recipe in the Chicago Sun-Times and it's for just one person, which I thought was very nice. The seasonings and ingredients are a bit different also, from regular chicken noodle soup recipes. I made this using ramen noodles but I will try the udon noodles next time, I just love them!

Steps:
- Place a soup pot over medium heat and coat with the oil. Add the onion, garlic, carrots, celery, thyme and bay leaf. Cook and stir for about 6 minutes, until the vegetables are softened but not browned. Pour in the chicken stock and bring the liquid to a boil. Add the noodles and simmer for 5 minutes until tender. Fold in the chicken, and continue to simmer for another couple of minutes to heat through; season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
- Place the chicken and vegetables in a large stockpot over medium heat. Pour in only enough cold water to cover (about 3 quarts); too much will make the broth taste weak. Toss in the thyme, bay leaves, and peppercorns, and allow it to slowly come to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low and gently simmer for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, partially covered, until the chicken is done. As it cooks, skim any impurities that rise to the surface; add a little more water if necessary to keep the chicken covered while simmering.
- Carefully remove the chicken to a cutting board. When its cool enough to handle, discard the skin and bones; hand-shred the meat into a storage container.
- Carefully strain the stock through a fine sieve into another pot to remove the vegetable solids. Use the stock immediately or if you plan on storing it, place the pot in a sink full of ice water and stir to cool down the stock. Cover and refrigerate for up to one week or freeze.

CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP FOR ONE
Home alone? This is a superfast soup that is meant to feed one person - that's right, one. Soy sauce, sherry and ginger give tang and heat to the broth, and udon noodles lend a decidedly Asian feel. And with the added flavors of chicken, spinach and sugar-snap peas, it's healthy and filling.
