Can I use rotisserie chicken instead of chicken breast?

Yes! If you have cooked chicken already, add it near the end —right after the veggies are tender—so it warms through without drying out.

How do I make this gluten-free?

Easy: use gluten-free noodles . Cook them separately (still!) and add them just before serving.

How should I store leftovers?

Store soup in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days . For best results, store noodles separately if you can—otherwise they’ll keep soaking up broth.

You can freeze the soup base (broth + chicken + veggies) really well for up to 3 months . I recommend freezing without the noodles , then cooking fresh noodles when you reheat.

Can I add more vegetables?

Absolutely. Spinach, kale, peas, or corn are all great. Add leafy greens at the end so they don’t overcook.

Instructions

In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Add the chicken, ginger, garlic, carrots, celery, and onion to the pot.
Simmer for 12–18 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender.
While the soup cooks, prepare the noodles in a separate pot according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
Add the cooked noodles to the soup and stir gently to combine.
Let the soup simmer for 2–3 more minutes.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

Cooking noodles separately keeps them from soaking up too much broth.

For extra brightness, add a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.

This soup stores best if noodles are kept separate when saving leftovers.

Great for meal prep and freezer-friendly without noodles.
