4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
2 medium carrots, sliced
2 celery stalks, sliced
8 cups chicken broth
2 cups cooked shredded chicken breast
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 ounces egg noodles

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 green onion, sliced

- Add the sliced carrots and celery and cook for another 3 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil.
- Stir in the shredded chicken, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

Notes
Substitute rice noodles or whole wheat pasta for a different texture.
For a lower-carb option, omit noodles and add extra vegetables like spinach or zucchini.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of sesame oil for extra warmth and depth.
For a richer broth, stir in a splash of coconut milk.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Keep noodles separate for best texture if storing longer.
Freeze without noodles and add freshly cooked noodles when reheating.
