Ingredients
  

For the Soup Base
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 large carrots, sliced
  • 2 stalks celery, sliced
  • 8 cups chicken broth
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • to taste salt and pepper
For Serving
  • 8 ounces egg noodles
  • 1 bunch fresh parsley, chopped optional for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent and tender—about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Stir in the sliced carrots and celery, cooking for another 5 minutes until they start to soften.
  4. Pour in 8 cups of chicken broth and add the chicken breasts.
  5. Stir in the dried thyme, dried parsley, and bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat to let it simmer. Cook for about 20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
  7. Remove the chicken breasts, shred them using two forks, and return the shredded chicken to the pot.
  8. Add the egg noodles to the soup and continue simmering for an additional 10 minutes or until the noodles are cooked to al dente.
  9. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt and pepper if necessary.
  10. Finally, remove the bay leaf before serving. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

Leftover soup is a treasure! Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, freeze in portions. When reheating, warm it on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of broth or water to refresh the consistency.
