Chicken Soup with Asian Flavorings

This soup was prepared by a friend in our cooking club, and was served as the first course of our meal prepared from this cookbook.

We loved this. The broth had excellent flavor (chicken broth, ginger, lime zest, scallions) and was accompanied by a great diversity of mix ins (noodles, tofu, chicken, cilantro, basil, bok choy, bean sprouts, etc).

This soup could easily be an excellent lunch, or if accompanied by a salad, perhaps a light dinner. Its very flexible -- there is a long list of suggested mix ins. It is very similar to pho, but the broth is very different (much easier).
