Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breast
- 8 ounces rice noodles
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 medium-sized carrot
- 2 celery stalks
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 inch piece ginger
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 green onions
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- 1 lime
Instructions
Prepare the vegetables by peeling and slicing the carrot into thin rounds, chopping the celery stalks, mincing the garlic, and peeling and thinly slicing the ginger.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the chicken pieces to the pot and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken begins to brown.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and add the carrots, celery, and soy sauce. Let it cook for 15 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is fully cooked.
While the soup simmers, prepare the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Once the soup is ready, add the rice noodles into the pot and stir to combine. Let the noodles warm through for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Chop the green onions and cilantro. Add them to the soup just before serving for a fresh, vibrant finish.
Ladle the soup into bowls and serve with lime wedges on the side for a zesty squeeze of flavor.
