Ingredients

For the Soup

• 1 pound chicken breast, diced
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 2 cups vermicelli noodles
• 1 cup carrots, sliced
• 1 onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste

For Serving

• Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
• Lime wedges (for a bright, zesty finish)

Instructions

Step 1: Sauté the Aromatics

In a large pot, heat a splash of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2–3 minutes until translucent. Stir in the garlic and ginger, and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 2: Cook the Chicken

Add the diced chicken breast to the pot. Season with a little salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink, about 5–7 minutes.

Step 3: Add Broth and Carrots

Pour in the chicken broth and soy sauce. Add the sliced carrots and bring everything to a gentle simmer. Cook for 8–10 minutes, or until the carrots are just tender.

Step 4: Add the Vermicelli Noodles

Stir in the vermicelli noodles and cook for 3–5 minutes (or according to package instructions) until soft and slurpable.

Step 5: Stir in Spinach

Toss in the chopped spinach and stir until wilted. Taste and adjust the seasoning with extra salt, pepper, or soy sauce if needed.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

Ladle the soup into bowls and top with chopped fresh cilantro. Serve with a wedge of lime for a bright, citrusy kick that brings the whole thing together.

Tips for Soup Success

• Use thin vermicelli noodles so they cook quickly and soak up flavor
• Add the spinach right at the end to keep it fresh and green
• Love spice? Toss in a dash of chili flakes or a swirl of sriracha
• Want extra richness? A drizzle of sesame oil right before serving is chef’s kiss

FAQs

Can I use leftover rotisserie chicken?
Absolutely! Just skip the raw chicken step and stir the shredded rotisserie chicken in with the broth and carrots to heat through.

What kind of vermicelli should I use?
Rice vermicelli works great, but any thin noodle (like angel hair pasta or even ramen) can step in if that’s what you’ve got.

Can I freeze this soup?
Yes! Though the noodles may soften after reheating. Freeze the broth and chicken mixture separately, then add fresh noodles when you reheat.
