Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Bring chicken broth to a boil in a large pot over high heat.

  2. Step 2

    Add rice noodles and simmer until tender, about 6–7 minutes. Stir occasionally so they don't clump.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in shredded chicken and fish sauce. Simmer 2 minutes until chicken is warmed through.

  4. Step 4

    Squeeze lime juice into the pot and taste. Add more fish sauce or lime to your preference.

  5. Step 5

    Ladle soup into bowls. Top with fresh herbs, jalapeño, and scallion. Serve immediately.
