Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, organic ingredients will result in a more flavorful soup.
Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too much chicken or vegetables, the soup will be watery and bland.
Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Chopped green onions, cilantro, or wonton strips are all great options.
