❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Asian Chicken Noodle Soup

1. Can I use leftover cooked chicken?

Yes, you can use leftover rotisserie or cooked chicken. Simply skip the step of cooking the chicken in the broth and add the shredded chicken with the vegetables.

2. What type of noodles work best?

Rice noodles are traditional and gluten free, but egg noodles or even spaghetti work well too. Just adjust the cooking time based on the noodle you choose.

3. How do I store leftovers?

Store the soup and noodles separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days. This keeps the noodles from getting too soft. Reheat the broth and add the noodles when serving.

4. Can I make this soup vegetarian?

Absolutely. Use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and substitute the chicken with extra firm tofu or mushrooms. Add them in step 4.

5. Is this soup spicy?

This version is not spicy. If you want heat, add a teaspoon of sriracha or a few slices of fresh chili pepper when you add the garlic and ginger.
