Tips and Tricks

To save time, you can use pre-cooked chicken, rotisserie chicken or leftover chicken instead of cooking raw chicken.
Prepare the rice noodles according to the package instructions and rinse with cold water to prevent them from sticking together.
Adjust the spices to your taste preferences - add more curry powder for a spicier flavor, or more turmeric for a brighter color.
If the soup is too thick, add more chicken broth or water to thin it out to the desired consistency.
When serving, add the toppings to each individual bowl instead of the entire pot to keep the ingredients fresh and to prevent them from getting soggy.
