Ingredients

Fried Shallots

Extra-virgin olive oil
4 shallots, thinly sliced into rings
1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour

Soup

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
One 2-inch piece of ginger, peeled and finely chopped, (1 tablespoon)
1/4 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. ground tumeric
4 cups Swanson Chicken Broth
8 ounces vermicelli rice noodles or thin spaghetti
1 cup leafy herbs, such as cilantro, dill and basil

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Make the fried shallots: In a small skillet, heat ¼-inch of oil until shimmering. Working in small batches, add a handful of shallots, and cook, turning frequently, until golden, about 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer fried shallots to a paper towel lined plate.

    Step 2

    Make the soup: In a medium pot, heat the oil over medium-high. Add the chicken and brown on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken to a plate.

    Step 3

    Reduce the heat to medium and add the ginger, turmeric, and cumin. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute.

    Step 4

    Pour the broth into the pot and return the chicken. Bring to a boil and then reduce to medium-low. Cover and gently simmer until the chicken breasts are just cooked through, about 10 to 12 minutes. Turn off heat. Using tongs or a slotted spoon remove the chicken breast to a plate and let cool slightly. Discard skin and bones and shred chicken meat. Keep warm.

    Step 5

    Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rice noodles or thin spaghetti and cook until al dente per package instructions. Drain.

    Step 6

    Add noodles to broth and serve brothy noodles topped with pulled chicken, herbs, fried shallots, and black pepper.
