Tender shredded chicken and thin noodles float in a clear, nourishing ginger-infused broth. This clean eats, high protein family soup is gentle on the stomach and perfect for a 1500 calorie or bariatric meal plan.
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté for 4 minutes until vegetables just begin to soften.
Stir in sliced ginger and cook 1 minute more to release flavor, lowering heat slightly if vegetables threaten to brown.
Add chicken breasts and pour in 6 cups low sodium chicken broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes. Skim any foam that rises.
Carefully remove the chicken. Let cool slightly, then shred with two forks. Return shredded chicken to the pot.
Add thin egg noodles. Raise heat to return to a gentle boil, then cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 5–7 minutes or until noodles are tender but not mushy.
Season with sea salt and black pepper to taste. Simmer soup for 2 more minutes to meld flavors, then serve hot.
