Chinese noodle soup is super easy and quick to make, it only takes 10 minutes. You can add any veggies or protein you've in the fridge. I usually add shredded chicken or roasted pork. And you're ready to serve this quick, healthy and delicious Chinese noodle soup.

Tips & Notes:
- Chicken breast is primarily cooked by simmering, not boiling, which is the secret to making it juicy and tender. Boil them in chicken bone broth, which will make the soup and meat even sweeter.
Chicken tenderloin: boil for 2 minutes, and simmer for 5 minutes.
Chicken cutlets: cook for 5 minutes, and simmer for 10 minutes. - Chicken broth is mild, so don't add too much soy sauce, it's a strong flavor and affects the taste of the soup. Therefore, it's best to add both salt and soy sauce.
- The green vegetables are cooked in hot water and not in chicken soup. Otherwise, the taste of the green vegetables would easily destroy the taste of the chicken soup.
- This way the noodle will be firm and the soup doesn't have the taste of cooked noodles. This is how a Chinese restaurant makes the noodle soup tastier.
