  • Author: Martha
  • Total Time: 45 min.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Soup:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 8 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 2 cups egg noodles
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Prepare the Soup Base

  1. 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.
  2. 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

  1. Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 10 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together.
  2. 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

  1. 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.

Finishing Touches

  1. Remove Bay Leaf: Take out the bay leaf before serving.
  2. Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a burst of color and added flavor.
