Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 carrots, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 2 cups egg noodles
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onions, carrots, and celery, and sauté until vegetables become soft and slightly translucent, approximately 5-6 minutes.
- Pour chicken broth into the pot with the sautéed vegetables. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
- Add shredded cooked chicken to the simmering broth. Stir to combine and let the chicken warm through for 2-3 minutes.
- Add egg noodles to the pot and cook until they are tender, typically 6-8 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent noodles from sticking together.
- Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Remove pot from heat and let the soup rest for 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to meld together.
- Ladle the hot soup into serving bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
- Serve immediately while hot, accompanied by crusty bread if desired.
Tips
- Use Rotisserie Chicken: For a quick shortcut, consider using store-bought rotisserie chicken. It saves time and adds a delicious flavor to your soup.
- Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to add other vegetables like peas, corn, or bell peppers to enhance the nutrition and flavor profile of your soup.
- Don’t Overcook the Noodles: To avoid mushy noodles, check them a minute or two before the suggested cooking time, as they will continue to cook slightly after being added to the hot broth.
- Herb Infusion: For an extra layer of flavor, add a bay leaf or some dried thyme while simmering the broth. Just remember to remove it before serving!
- Garnish for Flavor: Fresh parsley not only adds a pop of color but also brightens the flavors. Consider adding a squeeze of lemon juice for an added zing!
- Serve with Bread: Pair your soup with crusty bread or crackers for a complete meal that’s sure to satisfy.
