Aromatic Ginger Garlic Chicken Noodle Soup

Print Recipe

A comforting and aromatic chicken noodle soup infused with ginger and garlic, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

  • 2 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 1 piece ginger (3 inches), peeled and finely chopped
  • 1 bundle scallions (6 to 8 oz), thinly sliced (divided into whites and greens)
  • 4 tsp kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black or white pepper, to taste
  • 10 cups water
  • 8 oz dried ramen noodles or dried curly noodles
  • 1 cup carrot, cut into thin matchsticks
  • 1/4 cup black rice vinegar
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • Crispy chili oil, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, bring 10 cups of water to a boil. Season with 2 tsp of kosher salt. Add the chicken thighs and let them simmer for about 25 minutes until cooked through.
  2. While the chicken is cooking, heat a skillet over medium heat and add a splash of sesame oil. Sauté the sliced garlic and ginger for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Once the chicken is done, remove it from the pot and shred it into bite-sized pieces. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.
  4. Stir in the ramen noodles, matchstick carrots, sliced scallion whites, black rice vinegar, soy sauce, the remaining salt, and pepper. Cook until the noodles are tender, about 4-5 minutes.
  5. Adjust seasoning as desired, topping each bowl with scallion greens and a drizzle of crispy chili oil for an added kick.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken with tofu or tempeh and use vegetable broth instead of water.
