Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, diced
- 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
- 3 medium celery stalks, sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 pound chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 8 cups chicken broth, low-sodium
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups egg noodles, uncooked
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and sliced celery to the pot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.
Place the chicken breasts into the pot and pour in the chicken broth. Add the dried thyme, dried oregano, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Remove the chicken breasts from the pot and transfer them to a cutting board. Shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces using two forks and set aside.
Discard the bay leaves from the soup. Add the egg noodles to the pot and raise the heat to medium. Cook the noodles for 8-10 minutes, or until they are tender.
Return the shredded chicken to the pot and stir it into the soup. Allow it to heat through for 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the chopped fresh parsley and lemon juice. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Serve the soup hot in bowls, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
