3. Add the noodles to the stock and bring to the boil.

Add the soy sauce, sherry and sugar and simmer for another 2 minutes. Add vegetable and chicken mixture to the stock and noodles and bring to the boil. Allow to simmer for 5 – 7 minutes.
5. Season to taste and serve warm. Serves 4. Tip:
Allow soup to cool slightly and blend with a stick blender until soup is processed but not smooth.
Dessert/ sweet treat:
For dessert, make a cup of Hot chocolate. Sprinkle some chopped marshmallows and cocoa over.
Or
Place some marshmallows into a GLAD yummy bag and add to the tray for a sweet snack.
Drink:
Serve a cooled kiddies juice in the box or any other juice of choice in a plastic glass with a GLAD Straw. This will prevent spillage in the bed. Tips and Ideas:
1. Cut out interesting shapes using shaped cookie cutters from health bread slices to make the meal a special treat. Fry the bread shapes on both sides in a little butter and allow to cool slightly.
2. Spoon the left-over soup into a GLAD Zipper Freezer bag. Gently press out the excess air and seal to close. Freeze for another case of flu or a late night supper.
3. If the child is feverish, keep a damp cloth in a GLAD Zipper bag next to the bed.
