Instructions
Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken-flavored vegetarian broth and add the dried thyme, rosemary, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Bring the soup to a boil.
Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Remove and discard the bay leaf. Stir in the cooked egg noodles and chopped parsley.
Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper to taste, if necessary. Serve hot.
