After 15 minutes, add the chopped vegetables to the chicken and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Add 2 cups of water to the pot and bring to a boil.

Add another cup of water if needed, then bring to a boil again.

Once boiling, add 1 cup of angel hair pasta, breaking it into smaller pieces as you add it.

Add 1 chicken cube to the pot and let it cook for about 10 minutes until the pasta is cooked.

Taste the soup and adjust salt if necessary, then check that the vegetables are cooked through.
