Instructions
1-Making Cold Buster Chicken Pasta Soup is as easy as it gets, starting with simple prep work. First, gather and chop your ingredients to keep things moving smoothly in the kitchen. This step sets you up for success, especially if youβre a beginner cook.
2-Next, heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat and sautΓ© the diced carrots, celery, onion, minced ginger, garlic, and lemongrass paste for about 5-7 minutes until theyβre soft and fragrant. This builds a flavorful base that makes the soup extra tasty. Then, add the chicken broth, turmeric, salt, and pepper, and bring it to a simmer.
3-Now, add the pounded chicken breasts and let them cook in the simmering broth for 15-20 minutes until fully done. Once the chicken is ready, remove and dice it before stirring in the pasta. Cook the pasta for 8-10 minutes until itβs just right, not too soft. Finally, mix in the fresh parsley and lemon juice for a bright finish, and serve it hot for the best flavor.
