Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast (boneless, skinless)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion (diced)
- 3 medium Carrots (sliced into thin rounds)
- 2 stalks Celery (sliced)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 8 cups Chicken broth
- 1 piece Bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 6 ounces Egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Place the chicken breasts into the pot and pour in the chicken broth. Add the bay leaf, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and let it cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Remove the chicken breasts from the pot and shred them using two forks. Set the shredded chicken aside.
Add the egg noodles to the pot and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until they are tender.
Return the shredded chicken to the pot and stir it into the soup. Simmer for an additional 2 minutes to combine flavors.
Stir in the chopped fresh parsley and lemon juice for a burst of freshness.
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt or black pepper, if desired.
Serve the chicken noodle soup hot, garnished with extra parsley if preferred.
