- 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
- Prepare the soup base: Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced yellow onion, sliced carrots, and diced celery. Sauté until the vegetables are softened and the onion is translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add aromatics and spices: Stir in the minced garlic, ground turmeric, ground ginger, and ground cumin. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the spices to become fragrant and release their flavors.
- Add chicken broth: Pour in the 6 cups of chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
- Cook the chicken: Add the bite-sized chicken breast pieces to the boiling broth. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Add noodles and coconut milk: Stir in the egg noodles and the can of unsweetened coconut milk. Continue to simmer for 7-8 minutes or until the noodles are tender.
- Season the soup: Taste and season the soup with kosher salt and black pepper to your liking.
- Serve and garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Optionally, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving to brighten the flavors.
Notes
- Ensure the chicken is cooked through by checking it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
