Equipment
- 1 Large Stock Pot or Dutch Oven
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ cup chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup carrots, shredded
- ⅓ teaspoon turmeric
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 pound chicken breasts (bone-in or boneless) or thighs
- 1 ½ quarts chicken broth or chicken stock
- 2 ounces vermicelli pasta
- 2 cups packed fresh greens
Instructions
- Using a large stockpot over medium-high heat, add in 1 tablespoon olive oil. Once heated, add the ½ cup chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add ½ cup shredded carrots, ⅓ teaspoon turmeric, ¼ teaspoon ground ginger, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper. Stir to combine and cook for about 1 to 2 minutes, until the carrot begins to soften a little.
- Slowly pour in the 1 quart to 1 ½ quarts of chicken broth and 1 pound of chicken. Allow the soup time to come to a boil before turning the heat down to medium-low and placing the lid on the pot.
- After about 10 to 15 minutes remove the lid and carefully remove the pieces of chicken. Remove the bones, if any, and shred the chicken before placing it back into the pot. Return the lid to the pot and continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes.
- Remove the lid and add the 2 ounces vermicelli pasta and 2 cups of fresh greens. Cover and cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Once the pasta and greens have softened a bit, serve immediately and enjoy!
- If you have any leftover soup, then store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Notes
- You may use 1 quart of chicken stock or broth for a more chunky soup or 1 ½ quarts if you prefer a soup with more delicious broth.
- For the chicken, use bone-in or boneless chicken breasts or chicken thighs. Keep in mind that chicken thighs may need more cook time than boneless chicken breast.
- If you prefer, then you can substitute a different pasta or noodle instead of using vermicelli pasta.
- Be careful not to overcook the pasta or greens, the pasta should be al dente and the greens tender, but with a bite.
- For a more creamy chicken noodle soup, try adding in a single small can of cream of chicken soup.
