Instructions
Cooking Steps
- In a large Dutch oven, over medium heat, add oil. Stir in the onion, carrots, and celery, and sauté for 4 minutes.
- Add the garlic and sauté an additional minute. Then stir in the broth, chicken breast, salt, pepper, oregano, thyme and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat.
- Once simmering, cover pot with the lid slightly askew and cook until the chicken is tender and easily shreds, about 15 minutes. Using 2 forks shred the breast into the broth.
- Bring the soup to a low boil and add the egg noodles. Cook for 6 to 7 minutes, or until pasta is al dente. Serve warm with fresh chopped parsley and your favorite bread or crackers on the side.
Notes
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. This soup freezes well, but we recommend freezing it without the noodles to prevent them from becoming mushy. Just thaw and add fresh noodles when reheating. It's great for meal prep!
