Ginger Garlic Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe

Ginger Garlic Chicken Noodle Soup is a warming, immune-boosting broth packed with tender shredded chicken, rice noodles, fresh ginger, garlic, and scallions for ultimate cold-fighting comfort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 3-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and minced
  • 68 scallions, thinly sliced (whites and greens separated)
  • 10 cups water or low-sodium chicken broth
  • 8 oz rice noodles or ramen
  • 1 cup carrots, cut into thin matchsticks
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce or tamari
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • Optional: chili crisp or sriracha

Instructions

  • 1. In large pot, combine chicken, garlic, ginger, scallion whites, salt, pepper, and water/broth. Bring to boil, reduce to medium-low, simmer uncovered 15 minutes until chicken tender.
  • 2. Remove chicken to cutting board, shred with two forks. Strain broth if desired.
  • 3. Add rice noodles and carrots to broth, cook per noodle package (3-5 minutes for rice noodles).
  • 4. Meanwhile, whisk sesame oil, soy sauce, and rice vinegar for finishing sauce.
  • 5. Return shredded chicken to pot, stir. Ladle into bowls, top with scallion greens and drizzle with sauce.

Notes

  • Chicken thighs create richer broth than breasts.
  • Rice noodles keep it gluten-free; ramen adds chew.
  • Make sauce spicy to taste – kids love mild, adults add chili crisp.
  • Leftovers thicken; add water when reheating.
