How to be a Domestic Goddess...and be in a zen-like environment

I am a firm believer that sometimes a good chicken noodle soup is always good for the soul and for the body as well, but sometimes making a good noodle soup with chicken stock is so cumbersome and tiresome. My noodle soup for needy people always does the trick.
 
My weapon of choice is always instant noodles, of course chicken flavor with some extra ingredients. Well, when I super size my noodles the ingredients are pretty much endless adding in several foodstuffs along while cooking the eggy noodles. What I offer is just a template and you can add more ingredients that you prefer or whatever thats available in your cold kitchen garden, a.k.a., the fridge.

What I usually add:
2 packs of good instant noodles or 3 if you're greedy
Chicken stock either in liquid form or cubed
Crunchy veggies such as bak choy, mongo sprouts or squash
A tablespoonful of brown sugar
Soy sauce

Cook the noodles as per instructions on the packet, while the water is boiling, add in the accompanying chicken powder flavoring. To boost it's flavor add in the chicken stock or just throw in half a cube. Add in the brown sugar and a few tablespoons of soy sauce to add some earthy depth to the soup. Once the soup is boiling hot throw in the veggies and until tender to the touch. Decant the aromatic soup to a bowl. Once cool enough to eat, you can slurp as you work. Serves 1 lazy person.
