Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breast (boneless, skinless)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion (diced)
• 3 medium Carrots (sliced into rounds)
• 3 pieces Celery stalks (sliced)
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 8 cups Chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
• 2 leaves Bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 cups Egg noodles (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts with a pinch of salt and pepper. Add them to the pot and sear for 4-5 minutes per side, until lightly browned. Remove and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and sliced celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth and stir in the dried thyme, dried rosemary, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Return the chicken breasts to the pot. Increase the heat to bring the soup to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and let the soup cook for 20 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the chicken breasts from the pot and shred them with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.

Step 8

If using egg noodles, add them now and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary.

Step 10

Remove the bay leaves before serving.

Step 11

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve warm and enjoy!
