Vietnamese Chicken Meatball Soup with Bok Choy image

Throughout Vietnam there are many kinds of soups, "canh," served all year long. I particularly love enjoying this warm, flavorful bowl of Vietnamese chicken soup on laid-back weekends, but it's also great packed in a Thermos for lunch. It's the perfect bok choy soup, too! -Brenda Watts, Gaffney, South Carolina

This soup was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I will definitely make it again, but I will use less chili peppers next time.
