Asian Chicken Noodle Soup
Asian chicken noodle soup is a fun, frugal upgrade to both your ramen and your classic soup. The result is one hearty, crave-worthy soup with Asian flavors like soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil.
There’s nothing better on a cold day than classic comfort food.
I can’t think of anything more comforting than a big old bowl of warm, cozy soup.
My boys?
Well, they prefer a heaping serving of noodles.
Why not satisfy everyone and make a big batch of this Asian noodle soup?
It’s a mashup of classic chicken noodle soup, ramen noodles, and delicious Asian seasonings.
The result is a soup my boys happily slurp down, leaving no noodle behind.
Ingredients
To make this you’ll need:
- Oil– A light colored oil like canola oil
- Carrots– Thinly sliced
- Green onions– Thinly sliced
- Seasoning– Minced garlic cloves, ground ginger, and salt and pepper
- Chicken– Save yourself some time and use rotisserie chicken that you’ve either pulled apart or roughly chopped
- Chicken broth– You can use low sodium if you prefer
- Soy sauce– To taste
- Rice vinegar– You can find this in the Asian foods aisle
- Sriracha– Adjust this to suit your tastes
- Sesame oil– A little bit goes along way here
- Sugar– To balance the flavors
- Napa cabbage– Roughly chopped
- Mushrooms– Thinly sliced crimini mushrooms. You can sub thinly sliced white mushrooms if you prefer.
- Ramen noodles– Discard the seasoning packets
- Fresh cilantro
How to Make
Asian chicken noodle soup is so easy to make!
To do it, heat the canola oil in a soup pot over medium high heat.
When the oil is hot, saute the carrots for about 3 minutes before stirring in the green onions, garlic, and ginger.
Saute everything for 2 more minutes.
Then stir in the chicken, chicken broth, soy sauce, rice vinegar, Sriracha, sesame oil, sugar, cabbage and mushrooms and bring the soup to a rolling boil.
Let the soup boil for 2-3 minutes before turning the heat down to medium.
Stir in the noodles and cook 3 – 5 minutes longer or until noodles are tender.
Serve the soup warm and sprinkled with the cilantro if desired.
Enjoy!

Oh I just love this soup, and I would have loved having this recipe when my kiddos were young. They ate a lot of those ramen noodles with the seasoning packets. Yuck!
Funny you say that because half my crew prefers them plain (packets in the trash) which I really don’t get. BUT, the noodles go so well in so many other dishes I always keep them on hand– for me and the teens!
You soup looks JUST amazing! I love all things soup and your recipe looks spectacular! Thank you for sharing with us at #FoodieFriDIY!! Hope to see you next week!
