Classic Ginger Garlic Chicken Noodle Soup is a warming, nourishing one-pot soup featuring tender chicken, garlic, ginger, hearty noodles, and aromatic vegetables in a flavorful broth. It’s the ultimate comfort food, perfect for chilly nights or when you need a cozy, healing meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or sesame oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated or sliced
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 6 oz egg noodles or rice noodles
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1–2 tbsp lemon or lime juice (optional)
  • Chopped green onions or fresh parsley/cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté onion, garlic, and ginger until fragrant and translucent, about 3–4 minutes.
  2. Add carrots and celery. Cook for another 3–4 minutes until slightly softened.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil.
  4. Add raw chicken, reduce heat, and simmer for 15–20 minutes until chicken is fully cooked and tender.
  5. Remove chicken, shred with two forks, and return it to the pot.
  6. Add noodles and cook according to package directions, 6–8 minutes, until tender.
  7. Season with salt, pepper, and soy sauce to taste.
  8. Stir in lemon or lime juice for brightness. Garnish with chopped green onions or fresh herbs before serving.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie or leftover cooked chicken to save time—add it after the vegetables are softened.
  • Add mushrooms or baby spinach for extra veggies.
  • For a spicy version, include chili flakes or a dash of sriracha.
  • Cook noodles separately if making ahead to avoid over-softening.
