Asian Chicken Noodle Soup

I am so excited that it is soup season! I meal prep (nearly) every week, but I enjoy it much more in the Fall and Winter when I can get back to hot, comfort foods. I love this first soup of the season. It brings all the comfort of a classic chicken noodle soup with a delicious twist on the flavours. 

Ingredients 

• Vegetable oil 

• 1 cup diced carrots (around 2 large carrots) 

• 6 green onions, diced (approximately 1.5 cups) 

• 4 garlic cloves, minced 

• 2 tbsp peeled ginger (I substituted pre-minced ginger)

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast 

• Salt & Pepper 

• 6.5 cups low-sodium chicken broth 

• 1.5 tbsp soy sauce 

• 1 tbsp rice vinegar 

• 1 tbsp sriracha 

• 1 tbsp sesame oil 

• 1 tbsp granulated sugar 

• 3 cups chopped Napa cabbage 

• 1 pk crimini mushrooms, sliced (I’d like to point out that this autocorrected to criminology   mushrooms at first) 

• 2 pls dry ramen (just the noodles, not the seasoning) 

• 1/2 cup chopped cilantro 

Instructions

  1. Prepare chicken breast in a frying pan with some chicken broth, cooking thoroughly.

  2. Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a large pot over medium to high heat. Add carrots and sauté 3 minutes. Add your green onions, garlic and ginger. Saute 2 more minutes.

  3. Tear or cut your chicken into bite size pieces/strips and add them to your pot.

  4. Pour in chicken broth, soy sauce, rice vinegar, siracha and sesame oil.

  5. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to medium-low., cover and simmer for 5-7 minutes.

  6. Stir in sugar, cabbage and mushrooms. Return soup to a boil.

  7. Here you could add your noodles in and cook 3-5 minutes, until noodles are tender. Since I am doing this as meal prep and I despise soggy noodles, I will prepare my noodles separately and add them to each daily bowl of soup.

*A lot of soup recipes suggest cooking chicken in the soup, I have a personal preference to prepare it separately. I’m presenting it here how I cooked the meal.
