Instructions
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrot and celery and saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
- Add the chicken stock, bay leaves, thyme, oregano, and pepper. Bring the soup to a boil, reduce the heat slightly, and allow the soup to slow boil until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in the egg noodles and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the parsley and chicken and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Stir in the salt and then adjust the seasonings, adding more salt or pepper as needed. Remove the bay leaves and serve immediately. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Notes
- If you have homemade chicken stock, by all means use it! If not, a really good, organic chicken stock with a small list of ingredients will do wonderfully here.
- You can cook the chicken meat yourself (I use 1 to 2 pounds of chicken breasts or thighs if I go this route), or use a store-bought rotisserie chicken instead. Feel free to substitute some or all with dark meat, if you prefer it.
- I think egg noodles are best here, but you can use any other type of noodle you prefer.
- Chicken noodle soup can be frozen in an airtight, freezer-safe container for up to 6 months.
- Serve with your favorite dinner rolls or crusty ciabatta bread.
