Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Bone-in chicken thighs or breasts
- 8 cups Water
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 3 medium Carrots
- 3 medium Celery stalks
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 leaves Bay leaves
- 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 ounces Wide egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
Place the chicken in a large stockpot and add water and chicken broth to cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer and skim off any foam that rises to the surface.
Peel and chop the carrots, slice the celery, and dice the onion. Crush the garlic cloves slightly to release their flavor.
Add the carrots, celery, onion, garlic, bay leaves, thyme, salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir gently to combine.
Cover the pot and let the soup simmer for about 60 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside to cool slightly. Shred the meat, discarding the skin and bones, then return the shredded chicken to the pot.
Bring the soup back to a gentle boil and add the egg noodles. Cook according to the package instructions, usually about 8-10 minutes, or until tender.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Remove the bay leaves and thyme sprigs before serving. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for brightness.
Serve hot with crusty bread or crackers on the side for a heartwarming meal.
