Soba Noodle Soup With Chicken & Asian Mushrooms

It is a custom for Japanese to have Soba Noodle Soup on the last day of the year, as the noodles are long and they symbolise ‘longevity’. I have kept this tradition with my family in Australia, however it is sometimes difficult to enjoy hot noodle soup because the weather here can be extremely hot. This year, as we had rather cool weather after a heatwave, I cooked this hot Soba Noodles Soup.
