Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large bunch fresh cilantro (1/4 pound)
1/2 cup finely chopped peeled fresh ginger plus 1/2 cup very fine matchsticks
1 (3-pound) whole chicken
2 bunches scallions (7 ounces total)
10 cups water
3/4 cup Chinese rice wine or medium-dry Sherry
1 tablespoon salt
3 carrots, thinly sliced crosswise
1/2 pound dried thin egg noodles (4 cups)

Steps:

  • Coarsely chop enough cilantro leaves to measure 1/2 cup, then coarsely chop enough stems to measure 1 cup.
  • Simmer cilantro stems, finely chopped ginger, chicken, scallions, water, rice wine, and salt in a 6- to 8-quart pot, covered, skimming fat occasionally, 1 1/2 hours.
  • Transfer chicken to a bowl and cool to warm.
  • While chicken cools, pour broth through a sieve into a large bowl, discarding solids. Return broth to pot, then add carrots and ginger matchsticks and boil, uncovered, until carrots are tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Shred chicken, discarding skin and bones. Add noodles to soup and boil, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender, about 8 minutes.
  • Stir in chicken, chopped cilantro leaves, and salt to taste.

I'm not a huge fan of ginger, but I thought this soup was pretty good. The chicken was tender and the broth was flavorful.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out really bland. Maybe I didn't use enough ginger?

Just ok. The soup was a little too salty for my taste and the chicken was a bit tough.

Not a fan. The soup was bland and the chicken was dry. I think I'll stick to my regular chicken noodle soup recipe.

Easy and delicious! I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and it turned out great. I also added some chopped carrots and celery for extra flavor.

This soup was a hit with my family! The ginger flavor was subtle but noticeable, and the chicken was tender and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.
