Instructions

  1. 1

    Simmer the chicken thighs in the chicken broth for 25 minutes until cooked through, then remove the chicken, shred the meat, and reserve the broth.

  2. 2

    Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat and sauté the garlic, onion, and celery for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.

  3. 3

    Return the reserved broth to the pot, bring to a boil, then add the carrots and cook for 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Stir in the elbow macaroni and cook for 8-10 minutes until tender, stirring occasionally so it does not stick.

  5. 5

    Add the shredded chicken, cabbage, and fish sauce, then simmer for 3 minutes until the cabbage wilts.

  6. 6

    Lower the heat, pour in the evaporated milk and black pepper, warm through without boiling for 2 minutes, then serve hot in bowls.
