In winter-time, there is something very comforting about warming up from the inside with a steaming bowl of hot soup. Some people may prefer the traditional pumpkin soup or chicken & vegetable soup to ward off the lurgies, however (in my opinion) you can't beat a pho, laksa, ramen or Asian noodle soup to ward off the winter bugs. Many of the bases of these soups are made from bones that have been boiled for hours to achieve a flavoursome stock. This broth alone, full of vitamins and minerals, has a long list of health benefits on its own - and that is even before all the delicious meats and vegetables are added on top.

There are many tasty options around the city if you are looking for a delicious and hearty noodle soup. These are just some of my personal favourites, however if you have a top spot that you go back to time and time again, please leave a comment at the bottom of this article and share your tip. Which one will you try for lunch today, or this weekend?

1/ Au Lac Royal Vegetarian Cuisine is located in both Woden and Dickson and is easily the most popular vegetarian eatery in Canberra. Both restaurants have a wide range of Asian options on the menu , with many replacing the meat with soy alternatives. One of these dishes is the Au Lac Pho Soup with Soy Chicken, which had a flavoursome broth and soy chicken pieces - which always has me digging at the bottom of the bowl for more! Other soup options are Laksa, Soy Pork Rice Noodle Soup, Yellow Noodle Soup, Royal Noodle Soup and Wonton Yellow Noodle Soup. See here for details and here for a full article.
