Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 2 medium carrots, diced

- 8 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley
- 1 leaf bay leaf
- 2 cups egg noodles
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and the onion becomes translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Place the chicken breasts into the soup pot and bring the soup to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender.
Remove the chicken breasts from the pot and place them on a cutting board. Shred the chicken using two forks.
While the chicken is cooling, add the egg noodles to the pot and cook according to the package instructions (6-8 minutes) until tender.
Return the shredded chicken to the pot and stir to combine.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and black pepper if needed.
Remove the bay leaf before serving. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot. Enjoy your healthy, homemade low-fat chicken noodle soup!
