• You can substitute the broth with ready chicken stock cubes. For 2 cups of boiling water add 1 chicken stock cube.

• You can also use chicken with bones to make the broth. 

• You can also add Celery sticks to the broth for additional flavour.

• I used no msg veg stock cube, you can use according to your preference. Adjust the salt accordingly..

• To get the restaurant style taste... you can add a Tbsp of soya sauce and a dash of sugar.
