Description

This Spicy Coconut Chicken Noodle Soup is a bowl of comfort that is as nourishing as it is delicious. Creamy coconut and immune-boosting ingredients such as fresh garlic, ginger, turmeric, lemon, and bone broth really make this one special. It’s your mom’s chicken noodle soup but with the flavor turned way up!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 large onion, finely diced
  • 3 carrots, sliced
  • 3 celery stalks, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 4 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger (or 1 teaspoon ground ginger)
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh turmeric (or 1 teaspoon ground turmeric)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 6 cups chicken bone broth (see NOTE)
  • 1 (15-oz) can coconut milk
  • 1 lb chicken breasts/tenders, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 8 oz wide egg noodles
  • Hot sauce, to taste
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup chives, chopped
  • 1 lemon

Instructions

  1. In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the coconut oil and add the onion. Cook for a couple minutes or until the onion is beginning to soften.
  2. Add in the carrots, celery, and bell pepper. Add a generous pinch of salt and cook for 6-8 minutes, until soft and fragrant.
  3. Add the garlic, ginger, turmeric, and coriander and stir to combine. Cook for another minute.
  4. Stir in the chicken broth and coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Once simmering, add in the chicken, some more salt and some black pepper, and a few dashes of the hot sauce. Simmer for 10 minutes.
  5. Add the egg noodles to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes. Once the noodles are done, check for seasonings and adjust as needed.
  6. Just before serving, stir in the chives and some lemon juice, to taste. I do the whole lemon because I love the tang and brightness it adds. Ladle into bowls and serve while hot. Garnish with additional lemon slices, hot sauce, or chives, if preferred.

Notes

  • For broth-based recipes like this where I am not making the broth from scratch, I like to use a high-quality bone broth from the store. It makes a world of difference in the end flavor of the soup.
  • If possible, use fresh ginger and turmeric here for the best flavor and maximum immune-boosting/anti-inflammatory benefits. Dried versions will work in a pinch!
