Chinese Chicken Noodle Soup

a white bowl containing Chinese Chicken Noodle Soup

This is a total meal in a bowl. Chicken, noodles, vegis and loads of flavor. What more can you ask for.

This Chinese chicken noodle soup is quite different in flavour from the western style chicken soup, primarily because the chicken is marinated, the inclusion of ginger, the taste of the dried black mushrooms and the scallions.

The noodles make this soup very filling but if you want you can increase the amount of chicken used.

We think that the soba noodles are the best choice of noodles for this soup, however you can definitely substitute other types of noodles such as udon. Neither Loraine or I believe that regular style pasta suits this soup.
