This is really an easy to make soup recipe with egg noodles and chicken meat in hot chicken broth. Just topped it with lots of springs onions, and fresh vegetables and toasted garlic. It is definitely one of the best comfort food in the Philippines. Perfect for a stormy, rainy and cold days. Most Filipinos, just like me, will eat this all season long, any time and even for breakfast.
