Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups chicken broth preferably low-sodium
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 2 cups egg noodles or other pasta
  • 1 inch fresh ginger about 1-inch piece, grated
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce optional for added flavor
  • 2 stalks celery chopped
  • 1 medium carrot sliced thinly
  • to taste Salt and pepper for seasoning

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board
  • Ladle

Method
 

  1. Place chicken breasts in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a gentle boil and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Once cool enough to handle, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces using two forks or your hands. Set aside.
  3. Meanwhile, in the same pot, pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Add the chopped celery, sliced carrot, and grated ginger. Let the vegetables cook until tender and fragrant, about 10 minutes.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic and soy sauce, and continue simmering for another 2 minutes to meld the flavors.
  5. While the broth simmers, cook the egg noodles separately in a pot of boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  6. Add the shredded chicken to the broth and stir well. Let it heat through for about 5 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
  7. To serve, place a portion of cooked noodles into each bowl and ladle the hot broth with chicken and vegetables over the noodles. Stir gently to combine and enjoy immediately.

Notes

For an extra fresh flavor, garnish with chopped green onions or a squeeze of lime before serving.
