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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Season to taste: Remove the bay leaf. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness. Serve hot and enjoy!
