Prepared for Recipe Swap #14 - Backyard Barbecuers-- Had left-over rotisserie chicken -- always flavorful, and purchased frozen "Japanese Stir-fry Vegetables". Used 1 and 1/2 bags, thawed, and found that more than 1 48 oz. box of chicken broth- required another 15 oz. can. Couldn't find anything labeled "Chinese wheat noodles", so used a 3 oz. packet of Ramen Oriental noodles, (without the spice packet). It was very tasty -- DH added a dash of Sesame Oil to his second bowl - and did intensify flavors. Next time would likely add some fresh ground pepper, but have enough for lunch tomorrow -- and will enjoy ! Thanks, CarolAT, for a new slant on chicken noodle soup.
