Description

Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Soup:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder (or 1 tablespoon fresh turmeric, grated)
  • 8 cups chicken broth (preferably bone broth for extra nutrients)
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie or poached)
  • 2 cups egg noodles (or gluten-free noodles)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (for extra immune-boosting power)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Sauté the aromatics:
    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic, carrots, celery, ginger, and turmeric, and cook for another 5 minutes until fragrant.

  • Add broth and seasonings:
    Pour in the chicken broth and add thyme, oregano, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.

  • Cook the noodles:
    Add egg noodles and cook according to package instructions (usually 6-8 minutes). If using gluten-free noodles, cook them separately to avoid over-softening.

  • Add the chicken:
    Stir in the shredded chicken and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Remove the bay leaf before serving.


Notes

  • Add a dash of cayenne pepper for an extra immune boost and a bit of heat.
  • Swap noodles for quinoa or brown rice for a gluten-free, protein-packed version.
  • Use bone-in chicken thighs for richer flavor and more collagen content.
