Gingery chicken & spinach soup

4 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 Onion
½ Inch ginger root
1 tablespoon Sesame oil
6 cups Chicken broth
10 ounces Chopped spinach
1 pounds Boneless skinless chicken
Breast halves
½ bunch Green onion
2 cups Vermicelli
4 tablespoons Lemon juice
Salt and pepper
Sesame seeds -- optional

Directions

Finely chop the onion. Peel and mince the ginger. Heat the oil in a soup pot over medium heat. Add the onion and ginger, increase the heat to high, and saute for a few seconds to release their aroma.

Add the broth and spinach. Cover the pot and bring the liquid to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the spinach is thawed, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile cut the chicken into thin shreds or ¾" chunks. Slice the green onions. When the spinach has thawed, stir the soup, then add the chicken and noodles. Cover and simmer until the noodles and chicken are cooked, about 5 minutes. Add the green onions and the lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately, passing the sesame seeds for sprinkling over each portion.
