Cooking steps
  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

    Stir in sliced ginger and cook 1 minute more to release flavor, lowering heat slightly if vegetables threaten to brown.

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    Carefully remove the chicken. Let cool slightly, then shred with two forks. Return shredded chicken to the pot.

  5. 5

    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.

  6. 6

    Season with sea salt and black pepper to taste. Simmer soup for 2 more minutes to meld flavors, then serve hot.

Personalized Q&A
Q. What's the key ingredient in this Chicken Shredded Noodle Soup recipe?
The crucial ingredient is boneless skinless chicken breast, which provides both clean, lean protein and the base flavor for the broth. Its gentle taste pairs perfectly with fresh ginger and the vegetables, giving the soup its comforting, nourishing quality.
Q. What cooking step ensures the chicken stays tender in this recipe?
Simmering the chicken breast in broth—rather than boiling at a high temperature—keeps the meat moist and tender. Once cooked, the chicken is removed and shredded, preventing overcooking while the noodles finish in the broth.
Q. How do I prevent the noodles from getting too soft in the soup?
Be sure to add the thin egg noodles only after the vegetables and chicken are cooked. Cook the noodles just until tender (about 5–7 minutes), then stop heating promptly; this prevents mushiness and preserves ideal texture.
Q. How many calories and how much protein are in one serving?
Each serving provides approximately 280 kcal and 24g protein. This offers a protein-to-carb calorie ratio of roughly 3:4, supporting high-protein dietary goals while remaining balanced for clean, gentle nutrition.
