1

Prepare the Ingredients

Gather all the delicious ingredients for your chicken noodle soup. This includes 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, 1 chopped onion, 3 chopped carrots, 3 chopped celery stalks, 4 minced garlic cloves, 8 cups of chicken broth, 1 bay leaf, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, 1 teaspoon of dried parsley, 2 cups of egg noodles, and salt and pepper to taste.

2

Cook the Chicken

In a large pot, add the chicken breasts and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium heat and then reduce to a simmer. Cook the chicken for about 20 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Once cooked, remove the chicken from the pot and let it cool before shredding it into bite-sized pieces.

3

Saute the Aromatics

Heat some olive oil in the same pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, celery, and minced garlic. Saute for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables start to soften and become fragrant. This will make your kitchen smell amazing!

4

Simmer the Soup

Pour the chicken broth into the pot with the sauteed vegetables. Add the bay leaf, dried thyme, dried parsley, and the shredded chicken. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the soup to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes to allow all the flavors to mingle and create soup magic.

5

Add the Noodles

Time to add those comforting noodles! Stir in the egg noodles and cook them according to the package instructions. Usually, it takes about 8-10 minutes for the noodles to become perfectly tender. Be careful not to overcook them, unless you're into mushy noodles (we won't judge!).

6

Ladle the piping hot chicken noodle soup into bowls and get ready to feel all warm and cozy inside. You can serve it as is or garnish it with some freshly chopped parsley or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese. Now, get ready to enjoy the best chicken noodle soup you've ever tasted!
