Ingredients
Soup Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb (450 g) boneless skinless chicken breast, diced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 2 carrots, sliced
- 2 celery stalks, sliced
- 6 oz (170 g) egg noodles
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Heat the Oil: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering to prepare for cooking the chicken.
- Cook the Chicken: Add the diced chicken to the pot and cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes, to build flavor.
- Sauté Aromatics: Stir in the diced onion, minced garlic, and grated fresh ginger; cook for 2–3 minutes until fragrant and the onion becomes translucent.
- Add Broth and Vegetables: Pour in the chicken broth, then add sliced carrots and celery to the pot.
- Simmer Soup: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer gently for 20 minutes to allow flavors to meld and vegetables to soften.
- Cook Noodles: Add egg noodles to the simmering soup and cook until tender, usually about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Season: Taste the soup and season with salt and black pepper as needed to enhance flavors.
- Add Fresh Parsley and Serve: Stir in chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness, then serve the soup hot for optimal comfort and taste.
Notes
- Fresh ginger adds the best flavor and aroma to the soup.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For extra vegetables and nutrients, consider adding spinach or bok choy during the last few minutes of cooking.
