Chicken Soba Noodle Soup

Step 1
Heat oil in a stockpot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and saute for 2 minutes. Add carrots and celery and saute for 2 more minutes. Add chicken broth and bring to a boil. Stir in curry powder, salt, and both peppers. Reduce heat to a simmer.

Step 2
At the same time, melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and saute until golden brown and the juices run clear, 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 3
Add cooked chicken to the simmering broth and return to a boil. Add soba noodles and peas; cook, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender yet firm to the bite, about 5 minutes.
