Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Broth and Liquids
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Vegetables and Aromatics
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, sliced
- 2 stalks celery, sliced
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Pasta

Seasonings

Instructions
- Prep Vegetables: Chop the onion, carrots, and celery, then mince the ginger and garlic to prepare all ingredients for cooking.
- Cook Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until browned on both sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
- Sauté Vegetables: In the same pot, add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables soften, approximately 5 minutes.
- Add Garlic and Ginger: Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant to release their flavors.
- Add Broth and Chicken: Pour in the chicken broth and water, then return the browned chicken breasts to the pot. Stir in soy sauce, salt, and pepper.
- Simmer Soup: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and let it simmer gently for 15 minutes to meld flavors and cook the chicken through.
- Cook Noodles: Add the egg noodles to the pot and simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes until the noodles are tender.
- Shred Chicken: Remove the chicken breasts from the pot, shred them using two forks, then return the shredded chicken back into the soup.
- Adjust Seasoning: Taste the soup and add more soy sauce, salt, or pepper as needed to suit your preference.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot for a comforting meal.
Notes
- Use low-sodium chicken broth for better control over saltiness.
- Substitute egg noodles with gluten-free noodles if desired.
- You can add other vegetables like mushrooms or spinach for extra nutrition.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently on the stove to preserve noodle texture.
