Easy Noodle Soup

My friend Katy came over during Thanksgiving break. We love noodle soup!  This time I made her a chicken stew noodle soup.

 I use 2 cinnamon stick, 3 star anise, 1 celery, half of onion, 3 garlic cloves, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, salt, and pepper. 5Chicken thighs or 3 chicken breasts (cut into cubes) seasoned with salt and pepper then put them in the pot along with the broth. Cook until it's tender on stove or you could use Crock-Pot.

 This soup can go with any type of noodles such as rice noodles, vermicelli, or yellow noodles. Remember to soak noodles in water about 20 minutes before cook in boiling water until soft, but not mushy. Place noodles into each bowl and top with chicken. Ladle boiling broth over the chicken and noodles in the bowl. Add topping with some chinese broccoli, bean sprouts, cilantro and green onions.
