Chicken soup is so universal, and each culture seems to have its own version. Adding starch to the chicken soup is also common. Some places add noodles, while some add rice or potatoes. A bowl of chicken noodle soup is no doubt the ultimate comfort food. My version of it is influenced by my culture which uses Asian-style noodles, soy sauce, and a generous amount of green onions.
