02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Boil and cook spaghetti

Start by boiling a large pot of salted water. Toss in the spaghetti and cook it until it’s just tender but still has a little bite—about 12 minutes should do. Once it’s ready, drain the noodles and set them aside.

02

Simmer Chicken Mixture

Meanwhile, bring 4 cups of water to a boil in another pot. Add the chicken pieces, onion soup mix, chile-garlic sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Give everything a good stir to combine.

03

Simmer Broccoli and Chicken

Throw in the broccoli and let the soup simmer gently for about 5 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the broccoli is tender.

04

Serve Spaghetti Soup

To serve, divide the spaghetti among four bowls and ladle the hot soup over the noodles. Enjoy your quick and comforting meal!

03 / EXTRA DETAILS

Good to know.

Cook's tip

- Use fresh vegetables for added crunch and nutrition.
- Cook noodles just until tender to avoid them getting mushy.
- Add a splash of soy sauce or sesame oil for extra flavor.

Why you’ll love it

This dish comes together quickly, making it perfect for busy evenings. It’s light yet satisfying, with flavors that can be easily customized. Plus, it uses common ingredients you likely already have on hand.

Serving ideas

Serve with a side of steamed greens or a simple salad to balance the meal. Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds for a fresh finish. Pair it with a light broth or miso soup for a comforting touch.

Storage & leftovers

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a little water or broth to keep the noodles from drying out. Avoid freezing, as the texture of the noodles may change.
