Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast (boneless, skinless)
  • 6 cups chicken broth (low-sodium preferred)
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 medium carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 cups egg noodles
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Preparation Steps

  1. Cook the chicken: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside to cool. Once cooled, shred the chicken using two forks.
  2. Sauté the vegetables: In the same pot, add the chopped onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables start to soften.
  3. Make the broth: Pour in the chicken broth and water. Add the thyme, parsley, and bay leaf. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a boil.
  4. Simmer the soup: Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the flavors meld together.
  5. Add the noodles and chicken: Add the egg noodles and shredded chicken to the pot. Continue simmering for an additional 10 minutes, until the noodles are cooked.
  6. Season to taste: Remove the bay leaf. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness. Serve hot and enjoy!
