Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil (toasted preferred)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 6 cups chicken broth (low-sodium recommended)
  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 4 ounces dried egg noodles
  • 2 cups baby spinach, fresh
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger and saute for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until golden and fragrant.
  2. Pour in chicken broth and raise heat slightly to bring to a gentle simmer. Avoid a hard boil to keep the broth clear.
  3. Add shredded rotisserie chicken and dried egg noodles. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until noodles are just tender with a slight chew.
  4. Stir in baby spinach and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until wilted and still bright green.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in soy sauce and rice vinegar.
  6. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Add a splash of water if the broth is too salty.
  7. Ladle into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, use rice noodles instead of egg noodles and tamari instead of soy sauce.
  • Do not overcook the noodles. They will continue to soften in the hot broth after serving.
  • Freeze the soup without noodles for up to 3 months. Add fresh noodles when reheating on the stovetop.
  • Add sliced carrots, mushrooms, or bell peppers for extra vegetables and nutrition.
  • For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a few drops of chili sesame oil at serving.
