The temperature in Kuwait is getting lower and lower. We were freezing these past 2 days and all we want to do is to drink anything hot like , tea, coffee or chocolate. As for the food, we always craving for something soupy as usual. My hubby had colds since yesterday, he has runny nose so he cannot breath and eat well. Last night, he requested me to cook a very hot chicken soup, he even asked me to put more pepper on it, he always likes to eat very hot foods every time he has colds. He said he felt better while eating it.

¾ cup bean sprouts
5-6 pcs. pechay/bokchoy leaves, cut into desired sizes
1 pack 100 g sotanghon or bean thread noodles, cut into desired length
