Chicken Ramen Noodle Soup

Summer is off to quite a rainy start here in the Hudson Valley. The past two weeks have been scattered with a hearty dose of thunderstorms, and nothing makes me crave comfort food like a dark and dreary day spent indoors with the A/C cranked up to full blast.

My go-to comfort meal? Ramen! Shrimp ramen, steak ramen, and spicy sriracha ramen… I love them all!

I should also confess I’m totally one of those weirdos who eats soup even in the hottest months of Summer! So ya know, this whole soup in June thing was bound to happen sooner or later 😉

Enter this Blackened Chicken Ramen Noodle Soup! It’s light yet hearty; full of flavor; and so delicious you’re bound to find yourself making pot after pot no matter what the season. <— That’s a guarantee!

How to make Blackened Chicken

The first step to making this soup is getting the chicken in the oven. You’ll coat the chicken with a mix of oil and herbs, then roast it to tender, juicy perfection. I’m not a huge chicken fan, but this is my go-to method when I do choose to cook it.

If you’re looking to make this easy chicken soup even easier… you can definitely use a rotisserie chicken. Just be warned: the flavor won’t be the same!

Let’s Make Easy Chicken Ramen

While the chicken is roasting (it’ll take around 25 minutes, depending on the thickness of your tenders), you can make the soup. This soup is extremely easy (and adaptable) and is ready by the time your chicken comes out of the oven.

1. You’ll start out by cooking the vegetables in some olive oil, then add in the chicken stock, soy sauce, and vinegar and bring to a boil over medium high heat.
2. Then you’ll simmer for about 15 minutes before adding in your noodles. I use the noodles that come in those instant ramen packages, and just discard the flavor packet. But you can definitely buy fancy/healthy ramen noodles if you want.
3. Once the noodles are soft, you’re ready to eat! If you want to up the veggie in this recipe, feel free to increase the kale and carrots – celery or bok choy are also great additions.
4. Taste the broth before serving! If the soup tastes lacking in punch, add more soy, or season with salt and pepper. Add a little bit at a time, and tweak to your hearts delight!

Ready in about 30 minutes, this recipe is a winner winner chicken dinner the whole family will love!
