Chicken Noodle Tom Yum Soup in a Creme

Ingredients

• Chicken Fillet (cubes / for this recipe I used left over ones from a local fast food, optional)

• Knorr Chicken Noodle 

• 3cups Water

• 1pc Egg

• 1pc Potato (small, cubes)

• 1/2cup Mixed Vegetables (corn, carrots, peas / readily available in stores)

• 4pcs Calamansi (half lemon, optional)

• 1pc Onions (sliced)

• 1tsp Oil

• 3tbsp All Purpose Cream

• 1tsp Tabasco Hot Sauce (other hot sauce brand will do)

• 2pcs Sliced Cheese (any brand will do)

• Black Pepper to taste

• Thyme 

• Chili 

Cook time: 7 minutes

1. Simmer Potato, Mixed Vegetables and Chicken Fillet (if you're using fresh meat) with 3 cups of water for 3 minutes. Add in Knorr Chicken Noodles and cook for a minute.

2. Drop in Lemon Juice, Onions and Oil. Mix well. Dash Black Pepper for flavour. Stir for a few seconds then add in Cream, Cheese, Tabasco Sauce and simmer for a minute. Add Egg and stir occasionally. 

3. Once done, place soup in a bowl and add cheese topped with chili. Sprinkle in a dash of thyme to finish the presentation as seen on the pic below.

PS I know that there's definitely nothing special about this dish except for the additional experiment in flavour that I blended in. Decided to have "Tom Yum" on the name because the flavour of the soup was that of lemony with a twist of sweetness because of the cream. For some time now, it has been a personal favourite for soup dishes. I like the spicy, sour, sweet taste in any soup. I am a fan of Thai dishes, specially the said dish and since I can't make the real Tom Yum, recreating something that's readily at hand, is not a bad idea :)
