How To Cook Asian-Style Chicken Noodle Soup

Step 1: Heat the oil

Pour the oil into a large soup pot and place it over a high heat.

Step 2: Cook the vegetables

When the oil is hot, add the sliced onion, garlic and pepper, and cook while stirring for 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Next, add the shredded carrot and the stock and stir. Cover the pot and bring the soup to a gentle boil.

Step 3: Add the chicken and noodles

Once the liquid has started to boil, add the chicken and leave it to simmer for 5 minutes. Now add the noodles and simmer for a further 5 minutes.

Step 4: Add lime juice and serve

Remove the soup from the heat and add the lime juice to give it a slightly tangy flavour. Finally, ladle it into soup bowls and garnish with the chopped coriander, a basil leaf and a sprinkling of bean sprouts.
