  • 1 medium yellow onion Chop finely to enhance flavor.
  • 3 cloves garlic Minced for aromatic richness.
  • 4 carrots Diced to add sweetness and texture.
  • 2 ribs celery Chopped for crunch and depth.
  • 1 Tbsp fresh parsley Chopped to garnish and brighten flavors.
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil Used to sauté vegetables and create a savory base.
  • 1 tsp dried basil Adds an earthy aroma to the broth.
  • ½ tsp dried thyme Provides herbal notes that complement chicken.
  • 1 bay leaf Infuses the soup with subtle flavor while simmering.
  • ¼ tsp black pepper Freshly cracked for a hint of heat.
  • 1-3 tsp salt Divided, adjust according to taste preference.
  • 2 chicken breasts boneless, skinless The star protein that gives the soup its heartiness.
  • 8 cups chicken broth Forms the flavorful base of the soup.
  • 6 oz egg noodles Uncooked, cooked directly in the broth for convenience and flavor absorption.

Method
 

  1. Gather Your Ingredients: Start by assembling all necessary ingredients on your countertop for an efficient cooking process.
  2. Prepare Your Vegetables: Dice the onion, mince the garlic, peel and dice the carrots, chop the celery, and finely mince the parsley, setting it aside for later use.
  3. Sauté Vegetables: In a large soup pot, add olive oil along with diced onion, carrots, and celery over medium heat; cook until softened, stirring occasionally for about six minutes.
  4. Add Aromatics and Chicken: Incorporate minced garlic, dried basil, thyme, bay leaf, black pepper, and one teaspoon of salt into the pot; stir well before adding chicken breasts and covering them with chicken broth.
  5. Simmer to Perfection: Cover the pot with a lid; bring everything to a boil then reduce heat to low; let simmer for one hour ensuring it bubbles gently throughout.
  6. Final Touches: After an hour, remove chicken from pot; shred using two forks before returning it back along with egg noodles; boil until tender then finish off with fresh parsley before serving hot!
