Ingredients

• 2 pieces chicken breast
• 8 ounces rice noodles
• 6 cups chicken broth
• 1 medium-sized carrot
• 2 celery stalks
• 3 garlic cloves
• 1 inch piece ginger
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 green onions
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
• 0 to taste salt
• 0 to taste pepper
• 1 lime

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the vegetables by peeling and slicing the carrot into thin rounds, chopping the celery stalks, mincing the garlic, and peeling and thinly slicing the ginger.

Step 2

Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season lightly with salt and pepper.

Step 3

In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the chicken pieces to the pot and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken begins to brown.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and add the carrots, celery, and soy sauce. Let it cook for 15 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is fully cooked.

Step 6

While the soup simmers, prepare the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 7

Once the soup is ready, add the rice noodles into the pot and stir to combine. Let the noodles warm through for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

Step 9

Chop the green onions and cilantro. Add them to the soup just before serving for a fresh, vibrant finish.

Step 10

Ladle the soup into bowls and serve with lime wedges on the side for a zesty squeeze of flavor.
