Ingredients

5 cups water 3 tablespoons chicken soup base 1 pound egg noodles 1 ½ pounds boneless chicken breast cut into 1-inch cubes 1 ½ cups frozen peas 1 cup chopped carrot 1 tablespoon ginger 1 teaspoon ground mustard 1 teaspoon garlic salt

02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

Step 1

Start by pouring the water and soup base into a medium-sized pot and bring it to a boil, which should take about five minutes. Once it's bubbling, toss in the noodles. Then add the chicken, peas, and carrots to the pot. Sprinkle in the ginger, mustard, and a pinch of salt to taste. Let everything cook together until the noodles are nice and tender, which usually takes around 10 minutes. Give it a quick stir now and then to make sure nothing sticks to the bottom. When the noodles are soft and the chicken is heated through, your soup is ready to enjoy!
