Casserole of Chicken Soup

A frying chicken can be made into a substantial soup, or a main course, when its delicate flavor is enhanced with oil and seasonings and combined with interesting secondary ingredients. Make it in a casserole and serve it directly from stove to table.

This chicken is tender and flavorful; the broth is tasty of the mushrooms. The transparent noodles are silky, the steamed eggs smooth, and the bamboo shoots firm and crisp.
