Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 1 cup sliced carrots
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 8 cups chicken broth or stock
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, or thighs
  • 2 teaspoons freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 6 oz egg noodles, or your favorite small pasta noodles

Method
 

  1. In a large dutch oven, over medium heat, add oil. Stir in the onion, carrots, and celery, and sauté for 4 minutes.
  2. Add the garlic and sauté an additional minute. Then stir in the broth, chicken breasts, salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat.
  3. Once simmering, cover pot with the lid slightly askew and cook until the chicken is tender and easily shreds, about 15 minutes. Using 2 forks, shred the chicken into the broth in your preferred size.
  4. Bring the soup to a low boil and add the egg noodles. Cook for 6 to 7 minutes, or until pasta is al dente.
  5. Serve warm with fresh chopped parsley and your favorite bread or crackers on the side.

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat on stovetop or microwave, adding extra broth if needed as noodles absorb liquid.
  • Freezing: Freeze soup without noodles for up to 3 months in an airtight container. Add fresh noodles when reheating to prevent mushy pasta.
  • Make Ahead: Prepare a big batch for meal prep and add noodles only when ready to serve to keep them from getting soggy.
