Instructions

  8. Cook Noodles: Stir in the noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually around 5-7 minutes.
  9. Add Greens: In the last few minutes of cooking, add the bok choy or spinach to wilt.
  10. Season: Taste the soup and season with salt and pepper as needed.
  11. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnishing with fresh cilantro or green onions.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken thighs with chicken breasts or even turkey pieces if preferred.
  • Use vegetable broth to make the soup suitable for vegetarians if omitting chicken.
  • Add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes for a spicier variation.
  • For gluten-free options, use gluten-free noodles.
  • Leftovers keep well refrigerated for 3-4 days and reheat nicely.
