Ingrid Opera from Food Opera

This recipe is made from the leftovers of a ready cooked roast chicken from the supermarket. It’s great because it uses up the entire chicken after you have devoured all the succulent bits. All the flavours from the roast chicken, make this noodle soup delicious, especially if it’s bought ready flavoured.
