Instructions
Prepare the Soup Base
- Sauté Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften.
- Add Broth: Pour in the chicken broth and stir. Add dried thyme, parsley, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Cook the Noodles
- Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 10 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together.
- Add Noodles: Stir in the egg noodles and cook for an additional 7-10 minutes or until the noodles are tender but not overcooked.
Add the Chicken
- Incorporate Chicken: Stir in the cooked chicken and let it heat through for about 5 minutes. Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
