Ingredients

  • 1 pound Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts or Thighs The main protein source.
  • 2 cups Egg Noodles Essential for classic chicken noodle soup.
  • 2 medium Carrots Sliced into thin rounds.
  • 2 stalks Celery Chopped for flavor and crunch.
  • 1 medium Onion Finely chopped for the aromatic base.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Minced for flavor.
  • 6 cups Low-Sodium Chicken Broth Forms the soup's base.
  • 1 teaspoon Thyme Fresh or dried for flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon Parsley Fresh or dried for garnish.

Instructions
 

  • 1. Start by preparing your ingredients. Chop the onion, carrots, and celery into small pieces. Mince the garlic and set them aside.
  • 2. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent.
  • 3. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant. Stir in the chopped carrots and celery, cooking for an additional 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
  • 4. Add the chicken to the pot. Pour in the chicken broth, ensuring the chicken is fully submerged. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked.
  • 5. Carefully remove the chicken from the pot and shred it into bite-sized pieces. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.
  • 6. Add the egg noodles, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir and allow the noodles to cook for about 7-8 minutes until tender.
  • 7. Taste the soup and adjust seasoning as needed. Remove from heat and let sit for a few minutes before serving.
  • 8. Serve hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.

Notes

For a creamier soup, add a splash of heavy cream before serving. You can also customize with seasonal vegetables or different herbs.
