Healing chicken noodle soup

When the temperature starts to drop I know it’s time to make chicken noodle soup. It is as nourishing as it is delicious. Packed with anti-inflammatory ingredients including leek, garlic and ginger, it is hearty, full of goodness and great for any night of the week.

Ingredients






Method

    1. Add olive oil, leek, garlic and ginger to a large saucepan or stockpot. Sauté for 5 minutes or until soft. 

    2. Add carrot and celery to the pot and continue to sauté for a further 5 minutes. 

    3. Pour in the chicken broth, cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Once boiling, remove lid and add chicken breasts and zucchini. Reduce to a simmer for 20–25 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Use tongs to carefully remove the chicken breasts from the pot and roughly shred with a fork. Return to the pot.

    4. Add rice noodles and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat then stir through lemon juice, lemon zest and parsley. Add salt and pepper to your taste. Divide soup between bowls and serve warm. Enjoy!

Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days or in the freezer for up to three months.
