Colourful, flavourful, easy to make noodle soup with sea food and sweet peas, typical of South East Asian countries.

Fragrant, rich, delish- very simple, ready in 15 mins! Need I say more? It's always popular with kids and adults. I make a big batch and freeze some for nights when I don't want to cook.

In SE Asia, there are different kinds of 'noodle soups'. This one is a great comfort food on a cold day, but also light and healthy. Quantities are arbitrary - adjust to own taste.

Add chopped hot chillies or dried chilli flakes to make the soup spicy.

This soup is incredibly simple to make and you only need a few ingredients. It's light and fresh, plus it freezes really well too.

This nutritious soup is ready in just half an hour. Palak is an excellent source of Vit A, rice gives you carbs, chicken brings protein and without its skin is also low in fat. This is a whole meal in a bowl! Add chopped green chillies for spice.

We usually eat capsicum chopped up into vegetables or stuffed with spicy potatoes. Here's another delicious use for red capsicum on a cold monsoon evening. Use a mixie or hand blender to puree the pulp.
