Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe

Step 1: Prepare Ingredients

- 1 lb chicken breast - 2 carrots, sliced - 2 celery stalks, sliced - 1 onion, diced - 3 garlic cloves, minced - 6 cups chicken broth - 2 cups egg noodles - 1 tsp dried thyme - 1 bay leaf - Salt and pepper to taste - Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Step 2: Cook Chicken

In a large pot, add the chicken breasts and cover with water. Bring to a boil and then lower the heat to a simmer. Cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 15-20 minutes. Remove the chicken, let it cool, and then shred it with two forks.

Step 3: Sauté Vegetables

In the same pot, drain the water and add a bit of oil. Sauté the onions, garlic, carrots, and celery until they begin to soften, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4: Combine Ingredients

Add the shredded chicken back into the pot along with the chicken broth, bay leaf, and thyme. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.

Step 5: Add Noodles

Add the egg noodles to the pot and continue to simmer until the noodles are tender, about 7-10 minutes.

Step 6: Season and Serve

Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the bay leaf before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley. Enjoy your Chicken Noodle Soup!
