Chicken soup with soy sauce and noodles

75 minutes
Chicken soup with soy sauce and vermicelli is a comforting dish of Pan-Asian cuisine that combines tender chicken fillet, aromatic vegetables, and thin vermicelli. Its roots trace back to the gastronomic traditions of East Asia, where soy sauce became a key flavor element. Light yet rich, it has a pleasant blend of salty and spicy notes thanks to garlic, paprika, and black pepper. This soup warms on cold days and pairs wonderfully with fresh herbs. Olive oil adds smoothness while the vermicelli makes it nutritious and filling. The uniqueness of the recipe lies in the balance of simple ingredients creating a deep, rich flavor. It can be served as a standalone dish or complemented with crispy toast for added heartiness.
