Ingredients
  

For the Soup Base
  • 2 tablespoons Coconut Oil A subtle flavor base for sautéing; swap it for olive oil if desired.
  • 1 medium Red Onion Offers a sweet depth; yellow onions work in a pinch for a slightly different taste.
  • 1 medium Red Bell Pepper Provides sweetness and vibrant color; can be replaced with yellow or orange peppers.
  • 1 medium Carrot Adds natural crunch; pre-boiling makes it tender, but can be skipped for firmer texture.
  • 3 cloves Garlic Key for aromatic flavor; adjust according to your love for garlic.
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt Elevates the flavor; you can substitute with sea salt or regular salt but adjust to taste.
  • 1 can Coconut Milk Ensures the creaminess; choose full-fat for richer flavor.
  • 2 cups Water or Broth The soup base; feel free to use warm water or broth interchangeably.
For the Chicken & Noodles
  • 2 cups Rotisserie Chicken Conveniently pre-cooked and shredded; leftovers or freshly poached chicken bras will work too.
  • 2 packs Ramen Noodles Quick to cook; discard seasoning packets to control sodium levels.
For Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Turmeric Adds warmth and a beautiful golden hue; can be swapped with curry powder.
  • 1 teaspoon Sweet Paprika Provides mild warmth and sweetness; smoked paprika adds depth.
  • to taste Hot Sauce Essential for enhancing flavor; add gradually to control spice levels.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by boiling a small pot of water. Add the carrot pieces and cook for about 4 minutes, or until they are slightly tender but still firm. Drain the carrots and set them aside.
  2. In a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil over medium heat. Add the chopped red onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until soft and translucent.
  3. Introduce minced garlic to the pan, stirring it in swiftly for about 1 minute to avoid burning.
  4. Add the shredded rotisserie chicken and chopped red bell pepper, along with turmeric and sweet paprika. Stir for another 2-3 minutes.
  5. Incorporate the cooked carrots and drizzle in your preferred hot sauce, cooking for an additional minute.
  6. Pour in a can of full-fat coconut milk and 2 cups of warm water or broth, stirring gently.
  7. Add the ramen noodles before the mixture reaches a simmer and cook for about 3-4 minutes.
  8. Ladle the soup into deep bowls and garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or basil.
