The Coziest Chicken Ramen Noodle Soup

Jump to recipe. Ramen isn’t just a meal; it’s a vibe—especially when your middle schooler declares herself a ramen connoisseur and requests it to soothe a sore throat. Enter my Chicken Ramen Noodle Soup, a family-favorite recipe that has officially been crowned the “Mom, you nailed it!” of soups in our house.

Let’s talk flavor: This ramen is the perfect balance of cozy comfort and fresh, zippy brightness. It’s got all the good stuff—tender chicken, vibrant veggies, perfectly jammy soft-boiled eggs, and that warm, savory broth that tastes like a hug in a bowl. But what makes it next-level? My not-so-secret weapon: Knorr Chicken Bouillon.

The Secret Sauce (or Broth)

Knorr Chicken Bouillon is my go-to for making broth that tastes like it’s been simmering for hours, even when I’ve only got minutes. It’s like a little jar of magic flavor dust that turns plain water into the kind of broth dreams are made of. Trust me, once you try it, you’ll never look back.

The Noodles Make the Soup

If you can find udon noodles, grab them—they’re thick, chewy, and absolutely perfect for this dish. But honestly, any noodles you’ve got will do. Ramen noodles? Classic. Soba? Love it. Regular old spaghetti in a pinch? Why not. This soup is all about working with what you have and making it shine.

Jammy Eggs Are Non-Negotiable

Let’s not sleep on the soft-boiled egg. That golden, jammy yolk swirling into your broth? Game-changer. Don’t skip it—you’ll thank me later.

Chicken Ramen Noodle Soup Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs

• 1 tablespoon oil

• 1 onion sliced

• 1 teaspoon minced ginger

• 4 garlic cloves pressed or minced

• 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce

• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce

• 1 tablespoon fish sauce

• 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce

• 1/4 cup rice vinegar

• 4 ounces shiitake mushrooms stems removed and sliced

• 1/2 - 3/4 pounds baby bok choy sliced into quarters lengthwise

• 5 cups Water

• 1 1/2 tablespoons Knorr Granulated Chicken Bouillon

Optional Toppings:

• soft-boiled egg

• sliced green onion

• cilantro

• chili garlic sauce

• sesame seeds

• lime wedges

Directions:

1. Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, until it begins to soften. Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Next, add the garlic and ginger, stirring for about 30 seconds—just enough to release their aroma without letting them burn.

2. Pour in the water, Knorr Chicken Bouillon, soy sauce, rice vinegar, oyster sauce, fish sauce, and chili garlic sauce. Stir everything together and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

3. Once simmering, add the chicken thighs to the pot. Let them cook for 20 minutes or until they’re fully cooked and reach an internal temperature of 165°F.

4. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the noodles. About 10 minutes before you’re ready to serve, cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Drain them and set aside.

5. Carefully remove the chicken from the pot and slice it up. Add the bok choy to the pot. Let everything cook together for 3-5 minutes until the bok choy is tender.

6. Divide the cooked noodles into serving bowls, then ladle the hot soup over the top, then slice and add your soft-boiled egg. Serve immediately and enjoy the comforting, flavorful goodness!
