With just a bit of prep work, you can enjoy this homemade chicken soup with soba noodles for either lunch or dinner.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 medium onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 medium carrots, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 (32 fluid ounce) containers chicken broth
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
1 tablespoon butter
3 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cubed
4 (8 ounce) packages dried soba noodles
1/2 cup frozen peas

Directions

1 Heat oil in a stockpot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and saute for 2 minutes. Add carrots and celery and saute for 2 more minutes. Add chicken broth and bring to a boil. Stir in curry powder, salt, and both peppers. Reduce heat to a simmer.
2 At the same time, melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and saute until golden brown and the juices run clear, 5 to 7 minutes.
3 Add cooked chicken to the simmering broth and return to a boil. Add soba noodles and peas; cook, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender yet firm to the bite, about 5 minutes.
