Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 carrots, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 8 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 ounces curly egg noodles
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Place the chicken breasts in the pot and pour in the chicken broth. Add the dried thyme, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Simmer for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Remove the chicken breasts from the pot and place them on a cutting board. Use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Return the shredded chicken to the pot and bring the soup back to a gentle boil.
Add the curly egg noodles to the pot and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.
Stir in the lemon juice and season with additional salt or pepper to taste, if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
