I am a huge fan of Asian cuisine and it always inspires me when I am thinking about new recipes. I was scrolling through my old photos and I remembered one night when I was eating out with my friend, and she had some chicken sweet potato soup and that gave me the idea for this one.
Instead of peas you can also use broccoli, it's delightful with that too!
