Udon Soup with Chicken and Bean Sprouts with homemade chicken stock – Gluten-free version
Thick, soft udon gluten-free pasta in a clear chicken broth with ginger, with shredded chicken and bean sprouts that stay crisp. A complete meal in a bowl, especially good for days when you feel a bit under the weather. Gluten-free version: Gluten-free pasta and Gluten-free soy sauce (tamari).
Put the chicken, the onion, carrot, celery, parsley, bay leaves and peppercorns and the water in a pot and bring to a boil. Skim off the foam that rises during the first 15 minutes with a spoon.
