Chinese Chicken Noodle Soup

This hearty, homemade Chinese Chicken Noodle Soup is loaded with flavorful seared chicken, savory noodles, bok choy, and a hard-boiled egg with a sprinkling of green onions. A kicked-up version of classic chicken noodle soup! It’s loaded with protein and the Asian flavors in this soup blend perfectly. My biggest tip when making this soup is to sear that chicken well. Getting a good sear on that chicken is the first step in the process, which happens over fairly high heat and works best if you don’t move the chicken around as it cooks, just let the chicken absorb the heat from the pan until it reaches a golden brown color. This process also leaves chicken sediments on the bottom of the pot, the very same pot we cook the soup in. It gives the broth insanely good flavor. Searing chicken and using the same pan for the rest of the meal is the best way to obtain ultimate flavor in tons of dishes, not just soup!
