Easy swaps
- Instead of turkey, use shredded rotisserie chicken or firm tofuFor a classic chicken soup taste, use shredded rotisserie chicken. For a vegetarian version, replace turkey with firm tofu and use vegetable broth.
- Instead of chicken broth, use vegetable broth or low-sodium brothVegetable broth keeps it vegetarian. Low-sodium broth reduces salt content further.
- Instead of dried oregano or basil, use 1 tsp Italian seasoning or 1/2 tsp dried thymeItalian seasoning blends well with the broth. Thyme adds a slightly earthy, lemony note.
- Instead of ramen noodles with flavor packet, use soba noodles or rice noodles (omit flavor packet)Soba or rice noodles work well for a gluten-free option. Season with soy sauce or miso paste instead of the packet.
Frequently asked
Can I use fresh broccoli instead of frozen?
Yes. Cut fresh broccoli into small florets and add them with the noodles. They may need an extra minute to soften.
How can I make this soup spicier?
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes, a drizzle of sriracha, or a dash of chili oil when stirring in the chicken.
What can I use instead of almonds?
Try toasted sesame seeds, crushed peanuts, or crispy fried onions for crunch.
Is this recipe gluten-free?
No, standard ramen noodles contain wheat. Use gluten-free ramen or rice noodles and check the broth label.
