Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 medium carrots, sliced
• 2 celery stalks, sliced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 fresh rosemary sprigs
• 2 medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 8 cups chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 bay leaf
• 4 cups egg noodles
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Tie the rosemary sprigs with kitchen twine to create a small bundle (to make removal easy later). Add the rosemary bundle, chicken breasts, chicken broth, dried thyme, and bay leaf to the pot.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and let it cook for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).

Step 6

Remove the chicken breasts from the pot and set them aside to cool slightly.

Step 7

Add the egg noodles to the simmering soup and cook for 6–8 minutes, or until tender.

Step 8

While the noodles are cooking, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces using two forks.

Step 9

Remove the rosemary bundle and bay leaf from the pot, and discard them.

Step 10

Return the shredded chicken to the pot and stir to combine.

Step 11

Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 12

Optional: Garnish each bowl with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Step 13

Serve hot and enjoy the comforting flavors of this rosemary-infused chicken noodle soup.
