Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and sliced celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables are softened.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add Chicken and Broth

    Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into the pot. Pour in the chicken broth, and add the bay leaves, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Simmer the Soup

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.

  2. 5

    Remove Chicken

    After the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pot and let it cool slightly. Shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

  3. 6

    Add Noodles

    Add the egg noodles to the pot and simmer for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.

  4. 7

    Return Chicken to Soup

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

Finishing

  1. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove bay leaves from the soup. Stir in the chopped fresh parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot.
