Poached Chicken Asian Soup

This Poached Chicken Asian Soup is delicious, comforting and easy to make. With tender poached chicken, egg noodles, mushrooms and bok choy in a garlic-infused broth, this soup is perfect for a chilly day or a quick midweek dinner. This dish is also highly versatile – you can swap out the veggies for whatever you need to use up, and add your choice of garnish. I like to serve this soup with fried shallots, a drizzle of chilli oil and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Fresh herbs such as coriander (cilantro) would also work well.
