Instructions
- Prepare the Broth and Ingredients: In a large pot over medium heat, bring the chicken broth to a gentle simmer. Add the diced chicken breast, sliced ginger, minced garlic, chopped carrots, celery, and onion to the pot.
- Simmer the Soup: Let the soup cook, maintaining a simmer, until the chicken is fully cooked through and the vegetables are tender, approximately 15-20 minutes. This allows the flavors of ginger and garlic to infuse deeply into the broth.
- Cook the Noodles: While the soup simmers, bring a separate pot of water to boil and cook the noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the noodles once ready.
- Combine Noodles and Soup: Add the cooked and drained noodles into the pot with the soup. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients evenly.
- Final Simmer and Seasoning: Allow the soup to cook together for an additional 3-5 minutes to marry the flavors. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve: Ladle the hot ginger garlic chicken noodle soup into bowls and garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro if desired. Serve immediately for the best comforting experience.
