Asian Chicken Vermicelli Soup is similar to chicken sotanghon soup, but this recipe has some features that makes it unique. This can be served as a soup appetizer, a main dish (there are times when I eat noodle soup with rice), and meryenda (snack). Soups, rice porridge, and rice cakes (kakanin) are common Filipino meryenda food.
You will like this chicken vermicelli soup better if you add more toasted garlic in it. There is something with toasted garlic that enhances the flavor of every dish. I also try to eat this with a dip of fish sauce and crushed extra hot chili. This soup will make you feel warm during the cold days of fall and winter.
