Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2 large carrots, julienned
- 1 bell pepper, sliced (any color)
- 2 cups bok choy or spinach
- 1 package (8 ounces) egg noodles or rice noodles
- 3 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat Oil: In a large pot, heat vegetable oil over medium heat to prepare for sautéing the chicken and aromatics.
- Cook Chicken: Add the thinly sliced chicken breast to the pot. Season with salt and pepper and sauté until the chicken is cooked through, approximately 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Sauté Aromatics: Add the sliced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the pot with the cooked chicken. Cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until the mixture becomes fragrant and translucent.
- Add Liquid: Pour in the chicken broth and water. Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a rolling boil to prepare for simmering the soup.
- Incorporate Vegetables: Once boiling, add the julienned carrots and sliced bell pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes allowing the vegetables to soften without losing their texture.
- Add Noodles: Stir in the egg noodles, cooking them according to the package instructions, typically 5 to 7 minutes, until tender but firm.
- Finish with Greens: About 2 minutes before the noodles are done, add bok choy or spinach to the pot. Stir gently, allowing the greens to wilt and blend with the soup flavors.
- Taste and Adjust: Sample the broth and adjust seasoning by adding additional salt and pepper as needed for balanced flavor.
- Serve Hot: Once fully cooked, ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with the sliced green onions. Serve immediately for the best taste and warmth.
Notes
- Use fresh ginger and garlic for maximum flavor and aroma.
- Adjust the amount of vegetables according to preference or seasonal availability.
- Substitute rice noodles for a gluten-free option if desired.
- For a spicier version, add a pinch of chili flakes during sautéing.
- Make sure not to overcook the noodles to maintain their texture.
- This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
