Notes
Storage: Allow the Ginger Garlic Chicken Noodle Soup to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, consider freezing the soup without noodles for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, cook fresh noodles separately and add them just before serving.
Reheating: To reheat the soup, gently warm it in a pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. If frozen, thaw the soup in the refrigerator overnight before reheating. Add a splash of broth or water if the soup appears too thick after reheating.
Serving: Serve the soup hot, garnished with chopped green onions for added freshness and flavor. You can also drizzle a little extra soy sauce on top for an enhanced taste. Pair the soup with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
Chef’s Tip: For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of sesame oil just before serving or incorporating other vegetables like bok choy or bell peppers. Adjust the seasoning with more soy sauce or a pinch of salt to taste, keeping in mind that the broth should remain low in sodium for a healthier dish.
