Units Scale

For the Soup:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 cups chicken broth
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 oz egg noodles
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Cook the Chicken: In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a simmer. Add the chicken breasts and cook until no longer pink, about 15-20 minutes. Remove the chicken, shred it using two forks, and set aside.
  2. Prepare the Vegetables: In the same pot, add carrots, celery, onion, garlic, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
  3. Add the Noodles: Stir in the egg noodles and cook until al dente, following the package instructions.
  4. Combine Everything: Return the shredded chicken to the pot. Simmer the soup for another 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  5. Serve: Discard the bay leaf, adjust the seasoning if needed, and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • This soup freezes well, so it’s great for meal prep.
  • You can customize the vegetables based on your preference.
  • Feel free to add a squeeze of lemon juice for a pop of freshness.
