In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the minced garlic, dried thyme, and dried parsley. Cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 6-8 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the shredded chicken and heavy cream. Allow the soup to heat through for about 5 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
