# Method:

01 - Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering. Add diced onion, sliced carrots, and diced celery. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables soften and onion becomes translucent.
02 - Add minced garlic, ground turmeric, ground ginger, and ground cumin to the pot. Stir constantly for 1 minute until spices become fragrant, taking care not to burn the garlic.
03 - Pour in chicken broth and stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Add cubed chicken breasts and bring mixture to a gentle simmer.
04 - Cover pot and maintain a low simmer for 15-20 minutes. Cook until chicken is fully cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
05 - Stir in egg noodles and coconut milk. Continue simmering uncovered for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until noodles are tender.
06 - Remove from heat. Season with kosher salt and black pepper to taste. Ladle hot soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
