Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 1 cup sliced carrots
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 8 cups chicken broth or stock
  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 2 teaspoons freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 6 oz egg noodles or your favorite small pasta noodles

Instructions

  1. In a large dutch oven over medium heat, add oil. Stir in the onion, carrots, and celery, and sauté for 4 minutes.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Bring the soup to a low boil and add the egg noodles. Cook for 6 to 7 minutes, or until pasta is al dente.
  5. Serve warm with fresh chopped parsley and your favorite bread or crackers on the side.

Notes

  • Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days
  • Then you can reheat it on the stovetop or microwave
  • Keep in mind that the noodles will absorb some of the broth especially when storing leftovers
  • So we usually add a little extra broth when we reheat leftovers
  • Freezing: This soup freezes well but we highly recommend freezing it without the noodles as they can become mushy
  • Simply thaw the soup and add fresh noodles when reheating
  • You can freeze the soup for up to 3 months in an airtight container
  • Make Ahead: This soup is great for meal prep! Make a big batch and enjoy it throughout the week for quick lunches or dinners
  • Just wait to add the noodles until you’re ready to serve to keep them from getting soggy
