Shitake Mushroom & Soba Soup

What with our house hunting getting serious, I've lost my appetite from the stress! Now is the perfect time for a bowl of refreshing noodle soup to help lift the spirits! Yesterday I didn't feel like eating either, so I made this with chicken. Today I had run out of chicken, so I used a small tin of flavoured tuna instead. Delish!
