Ingredients
8 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 cups carrots, sliced
1 1/2 cups celery, chopped
1 large onion, diced
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
8 ounces wide egg noodles
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Salt to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the onion, carrots, and celery, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.
Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth, salt, pepper, and dried thyme.
Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente.
Stir in the shredded cooked chicken and heat through for 3-5 minutes.
Adjust seasonings and serve hot topped with fresh parsley.
Notes
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If the noodles absorb too much broth, add a splash of extra chicken stock when reheating. To meal prep, freeze the soup base without the noodles, then cook fresh noodles when ready to serve.
