Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion (about 1 medium)
  • 1 cup chopped carrots (about 2 medium)
  • 1 cup chopped celery (about 2 stalks)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 4 ounces egg noodles
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Pour in chicken broth. Add chicken breasts or thighs, thyme, and rosemary. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 15-20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
  4. Remove chicken from the pot and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.
  5. Season soup with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Add egg noodles to the pot and cook according to package directions, usually 8-10 minutes, until tender.
  7. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • For a richer broth, you can use bone-in chicken pieces and simmer them longer, then remove the bones before shredding the meat.
  • If you don’t have fresh herbs, you can use 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme and 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary.
  • This soup is a great base for meal planning, and leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
