Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add diced onion, sliced carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.

Remove the cooked chicken from the pot and transfer it to a cutting board. Use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Return the shredded chicken to the pot and stir in dried thyme, oregano, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper.
Add the egg noodles to the pot and simmer uncovered for 8-10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.
Remove the bay leaves from the pot and discard them.
