Chicken Noodle Soup (Plus Veggies)

For those gloomy, cold days when every other person has a cough.

Boil a chunk of chicken breast (around 1/4lb to 1/2lb or to your liking) in water. Use a stockpot that will take the remainder of the ingredients.

Chop 2 carrots, a few green onions, one small onion, 2 green chilies, 3 cloves of garlic, and 10ish mushrooms into bite sized pieces. Add to boiling water & chicken. Half cover and cook on medium heat for an hour or two. Water should be added as needed to cover all ingredients. Remove chicken breast and shred with hands once it cools. Return shredded chicken into soup.

Spices - Salt/Pepper/Lemon Juice to taste.

On the side, boil egg noodles (amount of choice, family preference) and drain. Add to entire soup concoction towards the end. Add more water/spices. Sometimes a thick soup works well, other times you want more liquid. Either way tastes fine.

Before serving, garnish soup (or individual soup servings in bowls) with freshly chopped coriander.
