Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 8 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
  • 6 ounces egg noodles
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned on all sides. Remove chicken from pot and set aside.
  2. Add onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring to a boil.
  5. Return chicken to the pot. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
  6. Add egg noodles and cook according to package directions, usually 7-10 minutes, until tender.
  7. Season soup with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Stir in fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For a lighter broth, you can use chicken breast.
  • Feel free to substitute other noodles like ramen, udon, or gluten-free pasta.
  • To freeze, cool the soup completely, then store in airtight containers for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat gently on the stovetop.
  • This soup is a great base for meal planning.
