Cooking
  1. In a large pot, heat some oil over medium heat.
  2. Add onion, carrots, and celery and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in garlic and ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the chicken and broth, bringing it to a boil.
  5. Reduce heat and let it simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes.
  6. Remove the chicken, shred it, and return it to the pot.
  7. Toss in the egg noodles and cook until tender, about 6-8 minutes.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.

Notes

This soup can be stored in the fridge for about 3-4 days. If you wish to freeze it, leave out the noodles and add them when reheating. Timing is everything; do not rush the sautéing process to build flavor. Substituting chicken with tofu or chickpeas can make this dish vegan.
