Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 carrots, peeled and sliced into rounds
- 3 celery stalks, sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 8 cups chicken broth
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 bay leaf
- 8 ounces egg noodles
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or stockpot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
Add the chicken thighs to the pot along with the dried thyme, dried oregano, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper.
Cover the pot and let the soup simmer for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Remove the chicken thighs from the pot and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.
Bring the soup back to a simmer and add the egg noodles. Cook according to the package directions, typically 6-8 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
If desired, stir in fresh parsley and a splash of lemon juice for added freshness.
Remove the bay leaf before serving. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot.
