Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, chopped
- 2 celery ribs, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)
- 8 cups chicken broth or stock
- 6 ounces wide egg noodles
- 3 cups cooked shredded chicken (we use rotisserie chicken)
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice, or more, to taste
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a large pot, melt the butter or oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery and cook until tender, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for one minute. Stir in the bay leaves and thyme.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add the noodles and simmer for 5 to 6 minutes or until tender, but not all the way cooked. You don’t want them to get mushy.
- Stir in the shredded cooked chicken and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. If the soup is too thick for your liking, you can add more broth.
- Stir in the lemon juice, parsley, and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Remove the bay leaves and ladle the soup into bowls. Serve warm.
