Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 large carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 2 ribs of celery, chopped
  • 1/2 cup onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Soup Base

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 10 cups chicken stock
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Protein and Pasta

  • 3 cups cooked and shredded chicken
  • 8 oz egg noodles

Instructions

  1. Prepare the vegetables: In a large stock pot, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the sliced carrots, chopped celery, and chopped onion. Cook them for 5-6 minutes until they soften and become tender.
  2. Simmer the broth: Pour the chicken stock into the pot with the cooked vegetables. Add the bay leaf, dried thyme, dried basil, and chopped fresh parsley. Bring the mixture to a boil, then cover and reduce the heat to a simmer. Let it cook for 20 to 40 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  3. Add noodles and chicken: Stir in the uncooked egg noodles and shredded chicken. Continue to simmer the soup for about 10 minutes or until the noodles are fully cooked and the chicken is heated through.
  4. Final seasoning and serve: Remove the soup from heat and discard the bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper to your taste. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired before serving.

Notes

  • You can use fresh cooked chicken by boiling or roasting chicken breasts or thighs, then shredding them before adding to the soup.
  • For a richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken stock or broth.
  • The soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
  • To keep noodles from becoming too soft when storing leftovers, cook noodles separately and add them to individual bowls when serving.
