Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 2 medium carrot
• 2 medium celery stalk
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 pieces chicken breast (boneless, skinless)
• 8 cups chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1 piece bay leaf
• 2 cups egg noodles
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Dice the onion, peel and slice the carrots into thin rounds, and slice the celery into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery, and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 additional minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Place the chicken breasts into the pot with the sautéed vegetables. Pour in the chicken broth, and add the dried thyme, dried parsley, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Bring the soup to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (165°F/74°C internally).

Step 6

Remove the chicken breasts from the pot and shred them using two forks. Discard the bay leaf.

Step 7

Return the shredded chicken to the pot and add the egg noodles. Simmer for an additional 8-10 minutes until the noodles are tender.

Step 8

Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 9

Ladle the soup into bowls, garnishing with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
