06 - Season with kosher salt and black pepper to taste. Ladle soup into bowls and serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.

# Pro Tips:

01 -
  • The turmeric and ginger create this golden, warming broth that actually makes you feel better from the inside out
  • Coconut milk adds the perfect creamy finish without being too heavy or rich
02 -
  • The soup will thicken up as it sits because the noodles keep absorbing liquid, so don't panic if it looks thinner than you expect initially
  • Fresh lemon juice at the end is absolutely transformative and cuts through the coconut milk richness beautifully
03 -
  • Cut your chicken into slightly larger cubes than you think you need, they shrink a bit as they cook
  • Let the spices bloom in the hot oil for that full minute, it makes a huge difference in depth of flavor
