Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
Brush the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season evenly with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper.
Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Remove from grill and let rest for 5-10 minutes. Dice into bite-sized pieces.
In a large pot, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced carrots, celery, and onion, cooking for 5-7 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer.
Add the egg noodles and thyme to the pot. Cook the noodles according to the package instructions, typically 8-10 minutes or until tender.
Add the grilled chicken pieces to the soup and stir to combine. Cook for 2-3 more minutes to warm the chicken through.
Taste and adjust seasoning with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper, if needed.
Stir in the fresh parsley and lemon juice just before serving for a bright touch of flavor.
Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot with crusty bread or crackers on the side.
