Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
- 3 medium celery stalks, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 large chicken breasts
- 8 cups chicken broth
- 1 leaf bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 cups egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and sliced celery to the pot. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Place the chicken breasts in the pot, followed by the chicken broth, bay leaf, and dried thyme. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Cover the pot and let the chicken cook for 15 minutes, or until fully cooked through.
Carefully remove the cooked chicken breasts and set them aside on a cutting board to cool slightly.
Add the egg noodles to the broth and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until tender.
While the noodles are cooking, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces using two forks.
Return the shredded chicken to the pot and stir to combine.
Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste, and discard the bay leaf.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley. Enjoy your magical bowl of warmth and comfort!
