Nido soup is hard to find. The best suggestion I can make is for you to go to your local store and pick up a package of KNORR NIDO SOUP and check out the ingrediants. The actual recipe is hard to find unless you are old school Chinese or Phillapino. I called a friend of mine and she said that they hardly make from scratch anymore. It's soup that you use a base of milk and you can either add egg or not - but the ingrediants can range from pork to chicken for meat - and every vegetable in between (corn, celery, onions, garlic, etc.) and then of course your noodles. Good luck.
