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!

  1. 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!

    1. 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!

  2. Delish – absolutely delish! Made this for dinner tonight and I cannot wait to enjoy leftovers for lunch tomorrow. Thanks for a great-tasting crockpot recipe!!
