** This recipe can be as light as you like as a broth or if you require it to be thicker you can use less stock to it as more of a thick stew/ curry and you can use prawns instead of chicken if needed. Also if you want to keep it vegetarian , swap the stock for veg stock ** - 1 sweet potato peeled and chopped into 1 inch cubes - 50g of rice / bean vermicelli noodles ( glass thread noodles) - 2 tbsp of cold pressed rapeseed oil or coconut oil.
