Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe

Step 1: Prepare Ingredients

Gather all ingredients: 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, 2 carrots (sliced), 2 celery stalks (chopped), 1 onion (chopped), 3 cloves garlic (minced), 8 cups chicken broth, 2 cups egg noodles, 1 tbsp olive oil, salt and pepper to taste, fresh parsley for garnish.

Step 2: Cook Chicken

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until they are no longer pink in the center, about 7-8 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.

Step 3: Sauté Vegetables

In the same pot, add chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.

Step 4: Add Broth and Noodles

Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until tender, usually about 7-8 minutes.

Step 5: Shred Chicken

While the noodles are cooking, shred the cooked chicken breasts using two forks.

Step 6: Combine and Season

Return the shredded chicken to the pot. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7: Serve

Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
