Asian-style Chicken or Shrimp Soup

My husband LOVES cooking soups, and tonight he cooked the most AMAZING Asian soup. I could eat it ALL DAY LONG! I hope you enjoy it, and let me know what you think if you decide to make it!

You can use any noodle you like for this soup, we used soba noodles!

Ingredients:
2 tbsp sunflower oil (we used olive!)
3 shallots, finely chopped
2 tsp grated fresh ginger
1 jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped
2 tsp Thai green curry paste
5 cups vegetable stock (or chicken stock - you may need more)
6-8 oz. noodles
2 tsp brown sugar
Juice of about 1/2 lime, to taste
2 chicken breasts shredded OR 8-10 oz of cooked, peeled shrimp
4 handfuls beansprouts
1 bunch scallions, sliced
Cilantro to garnish

Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add the shallots, ginger, jalapenos, and curry paste, and cook gently for two minutes. Stir in the stock, bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, cook the noodles in a separate pan of boiling water according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Stir the sugar and lime juice into the broth. Add the chicken and cooked noodles, and warm through. Add the beansprouts and scallions, and stir in the cilantro. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with extra cilantro, and serve immediately.
