One thing that I find interesting about food is that there are some dishes that can be found in almost every culture and cooking genre. Some examples include dumplings, curry, fried chicken, seafood soups, cake, and last but not least chicken noodle soup. This recipe is one such variation that I've come up with that was inspired by both American chicken noodle soup and chicken tortilla soup. This soup is full of the basics of chicken noodle soup but with more spices and vegetables to round out the flavor. If there are any leftovers you and your family will tear through them!
