Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Chicken

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until browned on both sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pot and set aside.

2. 2

   Cook the Vegetables

   In the same pot, add the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Add Broth and Seasonings

   Pour in the chicken broth and add the bay leaves, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.

   Simmer the Soup

   Return the chicken to the pot. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

5. 5

   Add Noodles

   Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it into bite-sized pieces. Add the egg noodles to the broth and cook according to package instructions, usually about 7-10 minutes.

6. 6

   Finish the Soup

   Stir the shredded chicken back into the pot. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Remove bay leaves before serving.
