Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 1 Tbsp salt to the water for more flavorful pasta. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Then drain, toss in a little olive oil to prevent sticking (optional), and set aside.
- While the pasta is cooking, chop the veggies. Or if they’re already chopped, you can cook them in a separate pot while the pasta is cooking to speed up the process.
- Heat the (now empty) large pot over medium heat. Add the olive oil, onion, celery, carrots, garlic, and ginger (optional) and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
- Stir in the thyme, turmeric (optional), salt, and pepper and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the chicken broth, raw chicken thighs or breasts (if using pre-cooked chicken, add it in step 6), and white beans (if using). Bring the soup to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 5-8 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (cook time will depend on the size of the chicken thighs or breasts and how quickly the broth comes to a simmer).
- When the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pot and shred or dice into bite-sized pieces. Return the chicken to the soup and cook for 1-2 minutes longer. If using pre-cooked chicken, add it at this time. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
- Divide the pasta between bowls, ladle in the soup, and garnish with fresh parsley (optional). Enjoy warm.
- Leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or in the freezer up to 1 month — store noodles and soup separately for best texture. Reheat soup in a saucepan until warm.
Notes
- *Nutrition information is a rough estimate calculated with gluten-free brown rice noodles, store-bought chicken broth, chicken breasts, and without optional ingredients. It was also calculated with less salt because not all the salt in the pasta water gets absorbed.*Inspired by Food Front Co-Op's Medicinal Chicken Noodle Soup and adapted from our 1-Pot Chickpea Noodle Soup.
