Ingredients
For the udon soup:
- 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 cups cooked chicken about ½ rotisserie
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 2 green onions
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 large carrots thinly sliced
- 2 cups shredded napa cabbage or 5oz bag shredded cabbage
- 6 mushrooms (shitake or button) sliced
- 6 ounces udon noodles
Instructions
Prep:
- 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.
- Slice the chicken into small pieces, about ½ inch diagonal pieces if using breasts.
Cup of Yum
Make the soup:
- 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.
- To the broth, add the cooked chicken, carrots, cabbage, and mushrooms, and simmer for about 5 minutes.
- 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.
- Ladle the udon soup into bowls and top with the green parts of the onions.
Notes
