Ingredients

  • 8 cups chicken stock (low sodium)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium)
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 3 inch piece lemon peel
  • 1 cinnamon stick (or 1 teaspoon ground)
  • 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
  • 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
  • 1 star anise
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon cloves ground
  • 8 ounces rice noodles (cooked according to package instructions)
  • 12 ounces chicken breast such as rotisserie, shredded, cooked
  • bean sprout cilantro, jalapeno slices, hoisin sauce, sriracha, thinly sliced onion, lime wedges, optional toppings

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the first 11 ingredients in a slow cooker (chicken broth through pepper) and heat on High for 4 hours or Low for 8 hours.
  2. Using a fine mesh strainer, pour cooked chicken broth over a large soup pot to remove the lemon peel, cinnamon stick and other spices from the broth; discard remnants.
  3. To serve, divide noodles evenly between four bowls and top with 3 ounces of cooked chicken in each bowl. Ladle two cups warm chicken broth over each bowl and serve with optional toppings.

Notes

  • You can definitely use a large stock pot. You won’t need to add too much water, but keep an eye on it. I would do it for at least 8 hours for the best flavor.
  • Yes!
