Necessary ingredients:

- 1/2 chicken breast, cut into strips
- 1 medium carrot, thinly sliced
- 10 pieces of canned pineapple, diced
- 1 packet of egg noodles (from pre-made Rollton soups)
- 1 liter of water
- Spices:
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

- 10 grams soy sauce
- 10 grams balsamic vinegar

Necessary utensils:
- A large pot
- A sharp knife
- A wooden spoon
- Serving bowls

Preparation – Step by Step:

1. Boiling the ingredients: Start by putting 1 liter of water in a large pot and bringing it to a boil. Add the cut chicken breast along with the sliced carrot. Let it boil for about 15 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and the carrot becomes slightly soft.

2. Seasoning the soup: After the chicken and carrot are boiled, add the soy sauce and balsamic vinegar to give the soup a pleasant umami flavor and acidity. Continue to stir to incorporate all the flavors.

3. Adding the pineapple: Add the pineapple pieces to the pot and let it boil for a few minutes. The pineapple not only adds natural sweetness but also a perfect contrast to the spicy seasonings.

4. Preparing the noodles: While the soup is boiling, you can prepare the noodles according to the package instructions. Usually, they boil for 3-5 minutes, so be careful not to overcook them.

5. Serving: In the serving bowls, add a portion of noodles and pour the hot soup over them. Make sure each bowl contains both chicken and pineapple to enjoy all the flavors.

6. Garnishing: You can garnish the soup with a few slices of fresh chili or coriander leaves for an extra touch of freshness.

Practical tips for a perfect result:

- If you want to intensify the spicy flavor of the soup, you can add more chili powder or use chili sauce instead of paprika.
- For a more aromatic version, you can add a few slices of fresh ginger at the beginning of cooking, along with the chicken breast and carrot.
- The soup can also be adapted for vegetarians by replacing the chicken with tofu or vegetables, and the water can be replaced with vegetable broth.

Nutritional benefits:

This soup is not only tasty but also nutritious. The chicken breast is an excellent source of lean protein, the carrot brings vitamins A and C, and the pineapple is rich in antioxidants and enzymes that aid digestion.

Frequently asked questions:

1. Can I use another type of meat?
Yes, you can replace the chicken breast with pork or beef, but the cooking time may change. Make sure the meat is well cooked.

2. What can I use instead of egg noodles?
If you prefer an egg-free version, you can use rice noodles or even vermicelli.

3. How can I store the soup for the next day?
The soup keeps well in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Make sure to reheat it well before consuming.

Serving suggestions:

This delicious Asian soup pairs perfectly with a crunchy cucumber salad or a serving of boiled rice. Additionally, a glass of green tea or mint lemonade would perfectly complement the meal.
