Healthy and Gluten-Free Asian Noodle Soup Recipe

Asian Noodle Soup Recipe

This soup is a very nutritious and nourishing meal. It’s one of my go-to recipes if anyone in the family is run-down or we feel the need to reset. The bone broth is a healing digestive tonic, the coconut water a mineral-dense rehydrator, plus protein and stacks of vegetables … what more could you ask for from a meal?

Recipe


Ingredients

  • 230g (approx.) red or brown rice noodles
  • 500mL homemade chicken bone broth or stock
  • 3cm piece ginger root, peeled & finely sliced
  • 1–2 large cloves garlic, peeled & finely sliced
  • 1 red onion, peeled, halved & finely sliced
  • 1 kaffir lime leaf (optional but recommended)
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 500g free-range or organic chicken thigh or breast, diced
  • 2–3 cups vegetables (I use sliced carrot, broccoli florets, shiitake mushrooms, snow peas)
  • Juice 1 lime (plus optional wedges to serve)
  • 330mL coconut water
  • Fresh red chilli or chilli flakes, to taste
  • Fresh Vietnamese mint (or regular mint), coriander leaves or Thai basil, to serve (optional)

Method


  • Place noodles in bowl and cover with boiling water. Allow to soak until softened. Once soft, divide between four serving bowls.
  • In medium-sizes pot, add broth, ginger, garlic, red onion, kaffir lime leaf and fish sauce and bring to slow simmer.
  • Add chicken and simmer until cooked through. Remove chicken to plate and shred or slice. Divide between bowls (including any juices).
  • Add your vegetables and simmer for a few mins until just starting to soften. Just before serving, add coconut water and lime juice and bring back to simmer then take off heat immediately.
  • Taste and make sure it has nice balance of sweetness from coconut water, saltiness from fish sauce and sourness from lime juice. Adjust any flavours if needed.
  • Divide vegetables between bowls and pour over broth.
  • Garnish with chilli and fresh Asian herbs.
