- When the broth is done, remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside.
- To drain the broth, put a colander in a large bowl. Put cheesecloth in the colander and secure it with binder clips. Pour the broth from the inner pot into the colander.
- Set the broth aside if you have not already sauteed the vegetables.
Make the Soup
- Mise en place
- About 15 minutes before the broth is done, heat a Dutch oven or large pot and add the olive oil when the pot is hot. Add the onions and carrots and sauté them until the onion has turned translucent. Add the celery and garlic and sauté. Stir in the ginger.
- Add the Bok choy and sauté it until the leaves are wilting.
- Add the mushrooms and sauté.
- Turn the heat off until you have finished with the broth.
- Add the broth to the vegetables. Add the chicken and stir. Taste for seasoning. Add more soy sauce or sesame seed oil to your liking. Add the noodles and bring the broth to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes, then cover the pot and remove it from the heat. Let the pot sit for 10 minutes so the pasta can cook.
- Serve the soup in the Dutch oven or transfer it to a soup tureen. Enjoy!
