Quick and Easy Chicken Noodle Soup
This recipe is perfect for those days when life throws you a curveball, and you need something comforting without spending hours in the kitchen. Plus, who doesn’t love the smell of chicken soup wafting through the house?

Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, sliced
- 2 celery stalks, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (leftovers work like a charm!)
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- 3 cups egg noodles
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (if you’re feeling fancy!)
Instructions:
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the veggies start to soften. You’ll know it’s working when your kitchen starts to smell like a cozy diner!
- Add the minced garlic and let it cook for another minute. If you’re going to tear up, it just means you’re very passionate about your cooking. Totally normal.
- Pour in the chicken broth, and toss in the shredded chicken, thyme, and bay leaf. Bring the pot to a gentle boil. Feel free to sway to your favorite jam while you wait—no judgments here!
- Once it’s bubbling away, add those glorious egg noodles. Cook according to package directions—usually around 6-8 minutes. You want them to be perfectly tender and ready to soak up all that amazing flavor!
- Finally, season with salt and pepper. Remove the bay leaf (it’s done its job) and sprinkle some fresh parsley on top if you’re feeling especially gourmet.
- Serve hot and watch everyone’s faces light up at the table. Bonus points if you make a funny face while serving! Enjoy your cozy chicken noodle soup!
