This chicken noodle soups bears some similarities with Indonesia's soto ayam: a turmeric broth, poached chicken, vermicelli noodles, plus a garnish of fried shallots. Throw in lemongrass and ginger, and a good dose of chilli, and you have a near-perfect restorative. The soup base can be made ahead and frozen so it's ready to go when needed.
