Oriental Chicken Udon Noodle Soup
Oriental Chicken Udon Noodle Soup is a warm bowl of rich, seasoned broth, loaded with rotisserie chicken, asian style vegetables and delicious Fortune Udon Chicken Flavored Noodles.
I am lucky enough to be one of the bloggers participating in the JSL Foods Fortune Noodle Blogger Recipe Challenge. I was sent 3 variety packages of their delicious noodles to create an original soup recipe.
For my recipe, I chose to use the Fortune Udon Chicken Flavor Noodles.
“Udon Fortune noodles are perfect for those wonderful, quick soups in five flavor packets. Pre-cooked and microwaveable, they fit easily into busy family lives. Fortune udon noodles contain no MSG, no cholesterol, and they contain added flaxseed to provide 130 mg of ALA Omega-3 per serving”. .This is from their website…I need to add that they are delicious! They are made from only 4 ingredients.
This soup is so easy to prepare and is loaded with healthy ingredients. I used rotisserie chicken for added convenience.
