Spicy Tuna Soup

INGREDIENTS

1 1/4 cups (300 mL) low-sodium chicken broth
2 tsp (10 mL) each soy sauce and light coloured miso paste
1/2 tsp (2 mL) minced fresh ginger
1 can (85 g) Clover Leaf Spicy Thai Chili Flaked Light Tuna
1 cup (250 mL) pre-cooked udon noodles
1/4 cup (50 mL) each thinly sliced red pepper and shredded carrot
1 green onion, thinly sliced

PREPARATION

Combine broth with soy sauce, miso paste and ginger in a microwave safe container. Combine the tuna, noodles, red pepper, carrot and green onion in a separate bowl or container. (The separate containers can be reserved for up to 24 hours in the refrigerator to pack for satisfying office lunch or to have ready for dinner after the gym.)
To serve, heat the broth mixture in the microwave on High for 2 minutes or until it comes to a boil. Pour the broth over the tuna mixture and let stand, covered, for 2 minutes or until the mixture is heated through. Makes 1 hearty serving (doubles or triples easily) .
Tips:
Miso (also called soybean paste) and udon noodles are available in the Asian sections of many supermarkets.
This recipe can be simplified by omitting the miso paste and substituting cooked spaghetti for the udon noodles.
