The first stage of making my soup is the nutritious stock packed with flavour. The other principal ingredients are plain wheat noodles, chicken, vegetables, and a few store cupboard staples. I like to use chicken thighs as they are more flavourful than breast meat and I precook them by roasting. I love the umani taste of mushrooms, so I like to use them and Pak choi as my vegetables.
