Notes
To lend the soup the authentic Asian flavor, you can also add a dash of sesame oil into the pot while cooking the chicken.
You can also add some other veggies of your choice into this soup. Bok choy or savoy cabbage are two great options, but you can also choose green beans, bell peppers, zucchini and bean sprouts.
To cut down the cooking time for the recipe, you can start with store-bought stock or broth, and add the chopped cabbage, veggies and seasonings into the soup.
If you have some leftover soup, you can let it cool down completely and then transfer it to a clean glass container before refrigerating it.
