Chicken Noodle Soup (Gluten-Free)
Vietnamese chicken noodle soup builds a clear, ginger-scented broth simmered with charred onion and star anise, poached chicken breast shredded back into the bowl over rice noodles. Finished with fish sauce, lime, scallion, cilantro and bean sprouts, the gluten-free broth uses tamari in place of wheat-based soy sauce for depth.

Instructions
1
Prep
Halve the ginger and quarter the onion. Char both directly over medium-high heat or under a hot broiler for 3–4 minutes, turning, until skins blacken.
2
Toast
Warm a small saucepan over medium heat and toast the star anise and cinnamon stick for 1 minute until fragrant.
3
Simmer
Add chicken stock, water, charred ginger and onion to the saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat for 2 minutes.
4
Poach
Slide the chicken breast into simmering broth. Poach over medium-low heat for 15–18 minutes until the thickest part reaches 165°F, skimming foam as it rises.
5
Finish
Lift chicken onto a plate to rest 5 minutes, then shred with two forks. Strain broth through a sieve, discarding solids, stir in fish sauce and tamari.
6
Build
Place cooked rice noodles in a deep bowl, top with shredded chicken, and ladle hot broth over both until fully submerged.
7
Plate
Scatter scallion, cilantro, bean sprouts and jalapeno over the top and serve with lime wedges alongside.
