Here is my Vietnamese Inspired Chicken Soup which is a "restaurant remake" of one of my favorite soups from the City Wok restaurant in Studio City. This has chicken, rice noodles and lots of fresh vegetables that will still have some life and texture when you eat it. Seasoning is to taste and this recipe can definitely be customized.

Ingredients

Bok choy 4 Cup (64 tbs) , shredded
Green onions 1 Bunch (100 gm) , sliced
Shredded carrots 1 1/4 Cup (20 tbs)
Bean sprouts 2 1/2 Cup (40 tbs) , rinsed and washed
Jalapenos 1/2 , finely diced (or To Taste)
