Asian Chicken Noodle

I think I may finally be over the worst cold I can ever remember having. Thanks goodness. It is the cold I blame for all the soup recipes so this is my final soup for awhile I hope. Or at least the last necessary soup for awhile.

That said this really did turn out great. I used this post as an inspiration for the broth. And otherwise it was a pretty simple typical chicken noodle soup. I browned up some chicken thighs in a bit of oil. Add onions, celery carrot, ginger and garlic and let it sweat just until ginger was fragrant then added a bunch of water several cloves and coriander seeds and a tablespoon of fish sauce and a sprig of cilantro. I let it simmer for an hour and a half then removed the thighs and set aside. Removed the cloves and coriander and skimmed the fat. I brought it up to a string simmer and added some rice noodles, meanwhile shredding the chicken. Added back the chicken and some minced cilantro. Heaven.

This chicken soup would have been the perfect cure-all for that cold. Glad that you're on the mend :D
