Chicken breast will cook fairly quickly. Saute it for a minute or so on high heat and add carrots, green beans, mushroom and cabbage along with salt and 3 cups water. Bring this to a quick boil and then reduce the flame to a simmer.
In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, vinegar, pepper, corn flour and ½ cup water till no lumps are visible. Add this to the pot and keep stirring till the soup thickens up. Add green chillies and simmer for 2 minutes. Mix in the green part of spring onions and chopped coriander. Turn off the flame.

Notes
The nutritional information above does not include fried noodles
Vegetarian Manchow Soup: Skip the chicken if you want a vegetarian version and add diced tofu right in the end instead
Fried Noodles: I have a great recipe for making crunchy fried noodles at home. This soup just isn't the same without them
Variations: Make this soup with shrimp instead of chicken. You can also add in a beaten egg in the ending and cook for a minute or two.
