Notes
- Add Potatoes: To make the soup heartier, add about 2 large potatoes, diced. Add the potato after you add the garlic and let it cook for a couple minutes, then add the chicken and chicken broth and let the potatoes cook as the broth simmers.
- Add Noodles or Rice: Cook Noodles or Rice according to their package directions in another pot (sorry, it will add another dish) to give the dish a little more substance. I recommend adding about 2-3 cups of cooked rice, or about 2-3 cups cooked noodles. I like rice noodles, or Chines egg noodles.
- Topping Ideas: Soup is extra delicious with toppings. Try sliced shallots, chili oil, thai basil, fresh cilantro, or fresh squeezed lime.
- Customize: Try adding bell peppers, zucchini, or squash for extra veggies. Fresh spinach is a great addition too (but only add that the last 2 minutes of cooking.
