We gave ordinary chicken soup a hint of Thai spice by infusing the broth with freshly chopped lemon grass.

Ingredients

Chicken broth

4 cup(s), or homemade broth

Uncooked boneless skinless chicken breast

8 oz, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

Carrots

1 medium, peeled and thinly sliced

Celery

1 stalk(s), large, thinly sliced

Onion

1 small, finely chopped

Lemon grass

1 tbsp(s), fresh, finely chopped

Table salt

½ tsp(s)

Black pepper

¼ pinch(es), freshly ground

Cooked egg noodles

1 cup(s)

Fresh parsley

1 tbsp(s), fresh, chopped

Instructions

  1. Place broth, chicken, carrot, celery, onion, lemon grass, salt and pepper in a large saucepan. Slowly bring to a boil; reduce heat to a simmer and cook until chicken and vegetables are cooked through, about 8 minutes.
  2. Place 1/4 cup of noodles in each of 4 shallow bowls. Ladle about 1 1/2 cups of soup over each serving and garnish with parsley.

Notes

To make this soup suitable for the Core Plan, swap the egg noodles for whole wheat noodles.
