This speedy Asian chicken soup bursts with classic flavors like fresh ginger and toasted sesame oil—ready in just 10 minutes.
Soup is my lunchtime staple at least two or three days each week. I love how simple, flexible, and nourishing it is—turning basic pantry items and fresh produce into a cozy, satisfying meal.
I find myself making this Asian Chicken and Cabbage Soup over and over. With clever shortcuts like pre-cooked rotisserie chicken and a well-stocked Asian pantry, the entire dish comes together in just ten minutes.
Rather than noodles, I opt for shredded cabbage to keep the soup low in carbs while still packing plenty of protein. That said, rice noodles would be a wonderful substitute. For toppings, feel free to go wild with whatever you have—cilantro, sliced jalapeño, or an extra drizzle of hoisin sauce all work beautifully.
Your spoon is waiting.
