Ingredients

For the udon soup:
  • 6 cups chicken broth low-sodium
  • 2 cups chicken about ½ rotisserie, cooked
  • 1 tablespoon ginger grated fresh
  • 2 green onions
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce low-sodium
  • 2 carrot thinly sliced, large
  • 2 cups Napa cabbage or 5oz bag shredded cabbage, shredded
  • 6 shitake mushrooms sliced, or button mushrooms
  • 6 ounces udon noodles

Instructions

Prep:
    Cup of Yum
  1. Slice the green onions and separate the whites from the green parts. Shred the cabbage, slice the carrots really thin or use a vegetable peeler to make ribbons, chop the mushrooms. You can swap these for button mushrooms too.
  2. Slice the chicken into small pieces, about ½ inch diagonal pieces if using breasts.
Make the soup:
  1. In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, combine the chicken broth with the ginger, garlic, the white parts of the onion, and soy sauce over medium-high heat. Bring the broth to a boil then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes.
  2. To the broth, add the cooked chicken, carrots, cabbage, and mushrooms, and simmer for about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the udon noodles and continue cooking until the noodles are cooked and the veggies are tender, about 5 more minutes. If using fresh udon noodles, which only take about 3 minutes to cook, I recommend waiting until the veggies are tender to add them in.
  4. Ladle the udon soup into bowls and top with the green parts of the onions.

Notes
