Ginger Is The Ingredient You're Missing For A Vibrant Chicken Noodle Soup
By Ciara McLaren
Even with homemade broth, perfectly cooked chicken, and plenty of veggies, classic chicken noodle soup can be boring. You can bring your plain recipe to life with fresh ginger.
While ginger enhances chicken soup's flavor, it's also great when you're sick because it can help clear your sinuses and may reduce inflammation.
For maximum health and flavor benefits, you should use fresh ginger root. Simply grate your ginger and add it to your soup along with your other aromatic ingredients.
Fresh ginger tastes great with its bright, astringent grassiness, and you can also use ginger powder as a spice rub for your chicken for a mellower and earthier taste.
Another way to boost the boldness of your ginger is to cut thin slivers and sear them in oil when making the base of your soup. This deepens the color and flavor of the ginger.
