Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 medium carrots sliced
  • 2 celery stalks sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 8 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 ounces egg noodles
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and add the dried thyme, dried parsley, and bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a boil.

  6. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually about 6-8 minutes, until tender.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
