Ingredients
Scale
1 tbsp olive oil
1 large yellow onion, chopped
2 carrots, peeled and diced
2 celery stalks, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 cups chicken broth
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
1 bay leaf
1/2 tsp dried thyme
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 cups egg noodles
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until vegetables are softened, about 8-10 minutes.
Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
Pour in chicken broth. Add shredded cooked chicken, bay leaf, and dried thyme. Season with salt and black pepper.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for at least 20-30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Add egg noodles to the simmering soup. Cook according to package directions, usually 7-10 minutes, or until tender.
Remove the bay leaf before serving. Stir in fresh parsley.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve hot.
Notes
For a richer flavor, you can use homemade chicken broth.
Ensure chicken is fully cooked before adding to the soup.
Adjust the amount of salt and pepper to your preference.
If making ahead, cook noodles separately and add just before serving to prevent them from becoming mushy.
