Quick and Easy Chicken Noodle Soup

Quick and Easy Chicken Noodle Soup

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:

  1. 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!
  2. 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.
  3. 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!
  4. 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!
  5. 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.
  6. 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!
