This recipe makes a big batch of light soup with mild flavor and LOW fat. I don't use much salt during the cooking process, so please feel free to do so, to your preference, if desired. Freeze leftover soup for lunches. Be sure to use rice noodles or rice sticks as these do not soak up all the broth and dry out your leftover soup.

ASIAN CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP



Asian Chicken Noodle Soup image

This is an authentic, 'home-style' dish served in Taiwanese homes. You can vary the easy-to-buy ingredients however you want to yield as many servings as you want. Try adding a couple of tablespoons of whole kernel corn. Super easy to make, kids can do it too! Tender noodles coupled with subtle chicken broth, all with succulent pieces of chicken, exotic shitake mushrooms and a slow-simmered egg ... my favorite rainy-day meal!

Drain and divide into two serving bowls.

When broth returns to a boil, crack eggs into broth. Continue to cook until chicken is no longer pink and eggs are cooked, about 10 minutes.
