Stir Fry Soup

This stir fry soup combines the best of two beloved culinary worlds: the hearty, comforting nature of soup and the vibrant, fresh taste of a stir fry. Packed with a colorful array of vegetables, tender proteins, and a savory broth.

I love a good stir-fry because it checks all the boxes for the perfect weeknight dinner. It offers fantastic flavor, simplicity, and a healthy balance of protein and vegetables, much like my favorite Creamy Potato Hamburger Soup. In this Stir Fry Soup, tender diced chicken and vibrant veggies are immersed in a rich, sweet, and savory broth, bringing you all the delightful flavors and textures of a classic stir-fry in a comforting soup form!

How to make Stir fry Soup

1. Cut all your veggies into strips and the chicken as well.
2. Season the chicken strips with your favorite spices and set it aside.

1. In a large saucepan or soup pot, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil with the onions, peppers and garlic. Sauté for 5 minutes

1. Go in with your chicken strips and mushrooms and sauté for another 5 to 10 minutes until the chicken changes to a whitish color.

1. Add a cup of chicken broth and let it cook and simmer for 5 minutes. Do a taste test, adjust seasoning where necessary then your stir fry soup is ready to be served.

Can I substitute stir fry vegetables?

Absolutely! Feel free to use any vegetables you have available. Here are some excellent options for your chicken stir fry soup:

• Sweet peas
• Asparagus
• Green beans
• Broccoli
• Cabbage
• Onions
• Zucchini

Tips and mistakes to avoid as a beginner cook

1. If you decide to use store-bought broth like me, please do a taste test before you add seasoning that contains salt because broths are salty on their own unless you bought a low-sodium one.
2. If for some reason the liquid content is too much in the pot or you would just like to thicken the soup, you can thicken it with a cornstarch slurry. Depending on the situation on hand its a great idea to start with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to 2 tablespoon of water ratio.
3. Is the soup too thick for your liking? Gradually add water or broth and stirring until you reach your desired consistency.

Got leftovers? How to store and reheat leftover stir fry soup

If you find yourself with leftovers of this stir fry soup (I doubt you will because it’s so delicious), here’s how to store and reheat it:

• Cool Down: Allow the soup to cool to room temperature before refrigerating it. Hot soup can raise the temperature inside your fridge, affecting the food safety of other items. I am pretty sure you don’t want that.
• Refrigerate: Once your chicken stir fry soup has cooled down, it’s time to transfer it into an airtight container then in the fridge it goes. It should stay fresh for up to 3-4 days.
• Reheat: To reheat, gently warm the soup over low heat on the stovetop. Be sure to stir frequently to prevent sticking. Alternatively, you can use a microwave, but heat it in short intervals and stir in between to ensure even heating.
