My son Ted, who is eight years old, loves chicken or salmon noodle soup. It’s one of his favourite meals that I cook for my little family. As a mum it pleases me that he enjoys this dish. I always use bone broth, chicken or vegetable stock to cook all the ingredients in. Therefore I know he is getting a lot of different nutrients his body need to survive and thrive.
When I make vegan meals during the week I’m always a little bit scared of what Ted will think or if he will eat the dish at all. Ted can be a very fussy eater and it does not make my life easy. I’m forever playing hid the vegetables but occasionally I serve up a big bowl like this one.
Although I wasn’t sure how this meal would go down I had a feeling that Ted may like this dish as it still had noodles in it. In the end I got an alright from my son and I was pleased as he loved the broth and noodles. My husband and I really enjoyed this meal. We hope you will too. Below is a video and recipe for you.

Miso and Black Bean Noodle Soup was a hit with my little family and I. It was quick, simple and delicious. The broth for this recipe could be made and frozen for another occasion. You could also make this meal in advance for a very quick dinner. Then all you have to do is add the noodles. However you decide to eat this dish, as always, please enjoy. Thank you xxx
