Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • About 1 1/2 cups sliced carrots
  • 2 celery stalks sliced
  • 3 green onions sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • About 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh grated ginger
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  • 3 to 5 tablespoons gluten-free tamari or soy sauce
  • 12 ounces cooked chicken cubed or shredded
  • 8 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/4 to 1/3 cup chopped cilantro
  • 4 ounces wide rice noodles

Method
 

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the carrots and celery and cook for about 5 to 6 minutes until they start to soften.
  2. Stir in the green onions, garlic, and ginger. Cook for about one minute until everything smells amazing.
  3. Add the sesame oil, 3 tablespoons of tamari, the chicken, broth, and cilantro. Bring the soup to a boil, then lower the heat and let it gently simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes so the flavors can hang out and get to know each other.
  4. While the soup simmers, place the rice noodles in a bowl and cover with hot water. Let them soak until soft, about 15 to 20 minutes, then drain.
  5. Add the softened noodles to the soup and let them cook in the broth for about 5 more minutes. Taste and adjust with more tamari, sesame oil, or herbs if needed. Serve hot.

Notes

This is the kind of soup that doesn’t try to be fancy. It just shows up, does its job, and makes you feel a little better than you did before.
And honestly, that’s all a good meal really needs to do.
