  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken pieces

Noodles

  • 4 cups egg noodles

Vegetables

  • 2 medium carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Liquids and Broth

  • 8 cups chicken broth

Herbs and Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Ingredients

  • 1–2 tablespoons oil (for sautéing)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Chop the carrots, celery, and onions into bite-sized pieces for even cooking, and mince the garlic to release its aroma.
  2. Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat. Sweat the onions, garlic, carrots, and celery until they soften and become fragrant, building the base flavor for your soup.
  3. Add Broth and Chicken: Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Add the chicken pieces, allowing them to cook gently and infuse the soup with flavor.
  4. Cook the Noodles: About 5 to 7 minutes before the soup is done, add the egg noodles. Let them soften perfectly without becoming mushy.
  5. Season and Garnish: Finish the soup with salt, pepper, and fresh herbs like parsley and thyme. Stir gently and taste to adjust seasoning as needed.

Notes

  • Use homemade broth for the richest, most flavorful soup.
  • Add noodles near the end to prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • Shred the chicken after cooking for better texture and easier serving.
  • Keep the soup simmering gently to blend flavors without breaking down ingredients.
  • Add fresh herbs at the end for maximum aroma and color.
