Hearty and Healthy, this Blackened Chicken Ramen Noodle Soup is loaded with carrots, kale, and a TON of flavor! Make this the next time you’re craving cozy comfort food – it does the trick every time.
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.
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!

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.
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.
You’ll start out by cooking the vegetables in some olive oil, then add in the chicken stock and simmer for about 10 minutes before adding in your noodles. Once the noodles are soft, you’re ready to eat!
Top each bowl with a few slices of flavorful chicken, sprinkle with scallions, and viola! Dinner is served.
Soup lovers, this one is for you 😉 Happy slurping.

Hi Melissa! Thank you so much for your sweet comment 🙂 And I’m so happy to hear you’re a fellow ramen lover like myself – I’m hooked too.
Will try these dishes. Yummy
This was so good! My husband and I are fighting over who gets the leftovers for lunch tomorrow.
I put a bit less sriracha, as our toddler was eating it too, and threw in some bok Choy. We all loved it. Thank you!
I love the idea of adding bok choy! YUM 🙂
Made this tonight and really liked it. My question is, when do you add the carrots and kale? They’re in the ingredient list but not in the directions. I put the carrots in a couple of minutes after the onions, and stirred the kale in right after the garlic. It came out fine but I was just wondering what the “right” way to do it is. Thanks!
Curious about this too as they are left out of the instructions…??
Have not tried this but will soon. I only wanted to comment that traditionally Ramen broth is a combination of meat (either chicken or beef)broth and seafood broth, usually Kombo dashi. Kombo Dashi can be made easily with the proper seaweed from Asian grocery stores or a powdered dashi is available. I will try this, hopefully, this week. Sounds great BTW.
I love this recipe! Not sure if you’re willing to update it, but you forgot to write in when to add the carrots and Kale. Thanks!
