Ingredients
Scale
Soup Base
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
- 2 ribs celery, diced
- 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
- 6 cups (48 ounces) chicken broth
Main Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized cubes
- 6 ounces egg noodles
- 1 can (13.5 ounces) unsweetened coconut milk
Seasoning and Garnish
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Sauté the vegetables: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion, carrots, and celery, cooking until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add garlic and spices: Stir in the minced garlic, ground turmeric, ground ginger, and ground cumin. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add broth and chicken: Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Add the bite-sized chicken breast pieces and reduce heat to simmer. Cook until chicken is cooked through and tender, about 10-15 minutes, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Cook the noodles: Add the egg noodles to the simmering soup and cook until tender, about 6-8 minutes according to package instructions.
- Stir in coconut milk and season: Lower the heat and stir in the unsweetened coconut milk. Season the soup with kosher salt and black pepper to taste. Heat through gently without boiling to avoid curdling the coconut milk.
- Garnish and serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Optionally, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to brighten the flavors before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the chicken is cooked through by checking it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Feel free to substitute egg noodles with gluten-free noodles to accommodate dietary restrictions.
- Adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving can brighten the flavors.
