Nutritional values

Noodles and fennel are responsible here for a good portion of dietary fibre. In addition, the essential oils of the spicy vegetables are suitable for soothing an upset stomach, and they are really good for colds.

If you do not tolerate soy products well, use cooking cream (15%) or low-fat crème fraîche instead, which you stir smooth with a little low-fat milk.
