Chicken Thukpa
Warm, hearty, and soul-soothing, Chicken Thukpa is a beloved Himalayan noodle soup that’s perfect for chilly days, cozy nights, or anytime you crave a comforting bowl full of flavor. Originally from Tibet and popular across Nepal and the Himalayan region, Thukpa combines tender meat, fresh veggies, and satisfying noodles in a savory broth.
This comforting bowl begins with a flavorful clear chicken broth, gently simmered with aromatic ingredients like garlic, ginger, onions, and whole spices that add warmth and depth without overpowering the freshness of the soup.
Juicy pieces of boneless chicken — often shredded or sliced — are cooked until tender and mixed with an assortment of crisp seasonal vegetables like cabbage, carrots, green beans, and capsicum.
Soft, chewy noodles are cooked just right and added to the hot broth, soaking up all the delicious flavors. A touch of soy sauce, green chilies, or timur (Sichuan pepper) can add extra zest and mild heat, while fresh coriander leaves and a squeeze of lime bring brightness to the final bowl.
Served steaming hot, Chicken Thukpa is a wholesome, satisfying meal that warms you from the inside out — perfect on its own or enjoyed with spicy achar or momos for the ultimate Nepali comfort food experience.
