Chicken Noodle Soup

Chicken Noodle Soup

This chicken noodle soup comes together so easily. It is so fresh and delicious. It is filled with all of the perfect textures and flavors. My family and I love to eat this soup all year long, as it pairs well with any season.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound chicken breast tenders
  • 12 ounce bag medium egg noodles
  • 8 cups chicken broth
  • 1 1/2 cups celery, diced
  • 1 1/2 cups carrots, diced
  • 1/2 cup white onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons thyme
  • 1/2 tablespoon parsley
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions:

  1. Add chicken to a large pot. Fill with enough water to cover chicken by about 2 inches over. Place on high heat and boil for 30 minutes. Drain the chicken, shred and set aside.
  2. In a large stockpot on medium heat, add olive oil, onion, carrots and celery. Sauté for about 8 minutes until onion is translucent and veggies are fork tender.
  3. Add in garlic and thyme. Sauté for one minute until garlic is fragrant.
  4. Add in chicken broth, chicken, noodles and pepper and stir. Increase heat to medium-high and boil for about 20 minutes until noodles are tender.
  5. Decrease heat to a low simmer and stir in parsley.
  6. Serve warm with crackers, if desired.

*Store in an airtight container in refrigerator for up to 2 days.

*If eating the next day as leftovers, pour in about 1-2 additional cups of chicken broth when heating to bring it back to its original soupy texture.

Serves: 4-6
