Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breast (boneless, skinless)
- 2 medium carrots
- 2 medium celery stalks
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 8 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups egg noodles
- 1 cup spaghetti (broken into 2-inch pieces)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 piece bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
Begin by preparing the vegetables: peel and slice the carrots into thin rounds, chop the celery into small pieces, dice the onion finely, and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery, and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and fragrant.
Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for 1 more minute, stirring to avoid burning.
Place the chicken breasts into the pot along with the chicken broth, dried thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer.
Cover the pot and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the chicken breasts are fully cooked through and tender.
Remove the chicken breasts from the pot and set them aside on a plate to cool slightly. Discard the bay leaf.
Increase the heat to medium and add the egg noodles and broken spaghetti to the pot. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender but not mushy.
While the noodles are cooking, shred the cooked chicken breasts using two forks. Once shredded, return the chicken to the soup pot and stir gently to combine.
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. If desired, add a splash of lemon juice for a bright, tangy finish.
Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the chopped parsley for a fresh flavor boost.
Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot. Enjoy with crusty bread or crackers for a satisfying meal!
