Preparation
  1. In a large pot, heat some oil over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery and sauté until softened.
  2. Add garlic and ginger, then cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the chicken and broth, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let simmer until the chicken is cooked through.
  4. Remove the chicken, shred it, and return it to the pot.
  5. Add egg noodles and cook until tender.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.

Notes

Add a drizzle of sesame oil or a squeeze of lime for an extra pop of flavor! This soup can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days or frozen for up to three months. Pro tip: timing is key; add the noodles toward the end to prevent them from becoming mushy.
