Inspired by my favorite instant noodles, Maggi masala noodles, this chicken noodle soup gets a heavy hand of aromatic curry powder and ginger for depth. The spice blend, along with a few alliums, provide tons of flavor while keeping things speedy, especially if you’re working with a prepared stock. Skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs also provide maximum opportunity for extracting flavor into the broth, while lime juice adds just enough brightness to offset the deep savoriness of the curry powder. To keep things one-pot-easy, I use wheat noodles that only need a few minutes to cook through. You’ll be surprised just how fast this comes together.
