  4. Add ramen noodles to the simmering broth and cook for 4-5 minutes until tender but firm. Stir occasionally.
  5. Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and 3 tablespoons of soy sauce. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  6. Make a cornstarch slurry by mixing 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water, then stir into the broth and simmer for about 1 minute.
  7. Stir in 1-2 cups of spinach or bok choy and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
  8. Thinly slice the rested chicken into bite-sized pieces.
