"This soup is traditional to the Tibetans but ever so different than the Western version. Here they brighten it up with lemon, fresh coriander, spring onion, soy sauce, etc."

We enjoyed this comforting chicken soup although we found it a bit bland. I don't know how it's traditionally served, but in order to cook the noodles and also have any broth remaining, I had to add quite a bit of liquid. I think that may have diluted the flavor of the broth. Next time I would add more water and flavoring ingredients at the beginning to develop sufficient rich broth before adding the noodles. Made for CQ4.

This was a fun, different take on chicken noodle soup! We really loved the chicken, noodles, carrots, onion, ginger, spring onions, chilies etc... I'm not sure I would do the honey and soy sauce again but it was fun for a change of pace! I ended up using a lot more water and chicken both than listed. Thank you!
