Chicken Ramen Noodle Soup with Honey Sriracha Crackers

This comforting chicken ramen noodle soup is served with homemade honey Sriracha crackers for crunch and extra flavor.

Ingredients

  1. 2 tablespoons olive oil
  2. ¾ cup thinly sliced carrot
  3. ¾ cup sliced celery
  4. ¾ cup chopped onion
  5. 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  6. 2 cloves garlic, minced
  7. 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  8. 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
  9. 2 teaspoons chopped fresh basil
  10. 2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
  11. ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  12. 2 cups cubed cooked chicken
  13. 2 (3 ounce) packages ramen noodles with seasoning packet
  14. 1 tablespoon lime juice
  15. ¼ teaspoon lime zest, or to taste
  16. 2 tablespoons canola oil
  17. 2 tablespoons butter
  18. 2 tablespoons honey
  19. 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  20. 9 ounces oyster crackers

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add carrot, celery, and onion. Cook until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Add ginger and garlic. Cook 1 minute more. Add broth, soy sauce, basil, oregano, and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until carrots are just tender about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in cooked chicken and ramen noodles. Simmer, uncovered, until noodles are tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in lime juice. Ladle soup into bowls. Sprinkle with lime zest and, if you like, additional basil and oregano leaves, and serve with Honey-Sriracha Crackers.
  3. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 10x15-inch baking pan with foil.
  4. Heat canola oil and butter in a large saucepan over medium heat until butter is melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in honey, Sriracha, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of the reserved ramen seasoning packet. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in oyster crackers. Toss together until evenly coated.
  5. Transfer crackers to the prepared pan and spread to an even layer.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven, stirring once, until light golden and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and cool completely (crackers will continue to crisp as they cool). Store crackers in an airtight container at room temperature up to 2 weeks.
