Tried this out on the Husband for dinner last night. He isn’t usually a fan of ginger, but oh well. There is really quite a bit of ginger in it though, it had a pretty strong taste. But it was still good! I put some hot sauce in mine to spicy it up a little, but it was good on it’s own too. I usually make my chicken noodle soup with a lot more veggies, so I would probably double the vegetables next time.
The Recipe:
- 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 large chicken breasts
- 1 large onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed
- 13 cups water
- 2 cups white wine
- 3/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 (4 inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
- 7 whole black peppercorns
- 4 cubes chicken bouillon
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 3/4 cup peeled and sliced carrots
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 2 1/2 tablespoons fresh rosemary(I used about 1 tbsp of dried rosemary)
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme(I used about 3/4 tbsp dried thyme)
- 1 (8 ounce) package egg noodles
- 1 large clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chicken, onion, and crushed garlic cloves; cook in hot oil until chicken breast is browned and onions start to turn translucent, about 5 minutes . Pour water, white wine, and lemon juice over the chicken mixture; stir sliced ginger, peppercorns, chicken bouillon, and white sugar into the liquid. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for 45 minutes. Remove and discard the crushed garlic cloves. Remove chicken breasts from the soup to a cutting board; chop into bite-size pieces. Add carrot, celery, rosemary, and thyme to the soup. Reduce heat to low until the vegetables begin to soften, about 20 minutes. Bring the soup to a boil. Return chopped chicken to the soup along with the egg noodles, minced garlic, and grated ginger; remove the pot from heat and let sit until the noodles have softened, about 10 minutes. Season with salt.
