A delightful and easy-to-make Thai-inspired chicken and spinach soup, perfect for a cozy meal.
Boil water in a saucepan and cook the rice noodles until tender.
Stir the noodles occasionally to prevent them from sticking together.
Drain and rinse the noodles under cold water, then set them aside.
Rinsing the noodles helps stop the cooking process and keeps them from becoming mushy.
In the same saucepan, bring chicken stock to a boil.
Use a flavorful chicken stock for a richer taste.
Add the chicken, mushrooms, ginger, and garlic to the stock and simmer until the chicken is cooked through.
Cut the chicken into small pieces to ensure even cooking.
Stir in the spinach, fish sauce, and lime juice, then remove from heat.
Add the spinach at the end to retain its vibrant color and nutrients.
Divide the noodles among serving bowls and ladle the soup over them.
Garnish with fresh cilantro for an aromatic finish.
