Begin by preparing the vegetables. Finely dice the onion, mince the garlic, and chop the carrots and celery into small pieces.
Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, carrots, and celery. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
Place the chicken breasts into the pot, then pour in the chicken stock. Add the bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Increase the heat to high and bring the soup to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let the soup simmer for 20 minutes, or until the chicken breasts are cooked through.
Remove the chicken breasts from the pot and transfer them to a cutting board. Use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces, then return the shredded chicken to the pot.
Stir in the corn and egg noodles. Continue simmering the soup for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with more salt and black pepper, if needed.
Remove the bay leaf from the pot and discard it. Stir in the chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
Serve the soup hot in bowls, optionally garnished with extra parsley or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Enjoy!
