Asian Chicken Noodle Soup
I don’t know about you but I love a good, warm, spicy soup this time of year!
When the weather gets cold nothing warms me up better than a big bowl of soup. I especially love Asian inspired soups.
Today’s Asian Chicken Noodle Soup is one I make a lot. It packs in protein with the chicken and then fresh vegetables, herbs and rice noodles.
Oh, and don’t forget the spice from the sriracha!
If you are looking for soups I suggest adding this Spicy Asian Chicken and Noodle Soup to the rotation along with this lightened up, Spicy Asian Chicken Zoodle Soup, a version using zucchini noodles.
Recipe Ingredients in this Chicken Noodle Soup
- Broth: I used a chicken broth in this soup but you can also use a vegetable broth if you would like.
- Shredded Chicken: Shredded or diced chicken works nicely in this soup. You can also save time by buying a rotisserie chicken and shredding that up to add to the soup.
- Vegetables: Fresh vegetables are always nice in soup. This soup uses carrots, green onions and snap peas. Other vegetables that work nicely include zucchini, celery and mushrooms.
- Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs take soups to the next level. I suggest cilantro or Thai basil.
- Noodles: I used rice noodles in this soup but feel free to use your favorite. For a lighter version use zucchini noodles.
- Spices: I like my soups nice and spicy. Add as little or as much sriracha as you like!
Ways to Modify this Soup
- Meat: instead of chicken try using shrimp, ground chicken or ground pork instead.
- Vegetables: load up on fresh vegetables in your soup. Some I like include zucchini, celery, eggplant, mushrooms, jalapeños, poblanos and bell pepper.
- Spices: You can add other spices to this soup like cayenne red pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, dried cilantro or oregano.
- Noodles and Grains: In place of the noodles you can use brown or white rice. You also can use zucchini noodles to lighten up the dish even more!
