Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat until shimmering.
  2. Add 1 pound of sliced boneless, skinless chicken breast, seasoning with salt and pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until no longer pink.
  3. Mix in 1 chopped onion, 4 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tablespoon of freshly grated ginger. Sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent.
  4. Pour in 4 cups of chicken broth and 2 cups of water. Bring to a rolling boil, which should take about 4-5 minutes.
  5. Add 2 julienned carrots and 1 chopped bell pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes until slightly softened.
  6. Stir in 8 ounces of egg noodles or rice noodles, cooking according to package instructions, typically about 5-7 minutes.
  7. Add 2 cups of chopped bok choy or spinach about 2 minutes before the noodles are done to wilt and integrate.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  9. Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
