Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 ½ cup carrots peeled and sliced into ¼- inch thick slices
- 1 cup celery chopped
- 1 yellow onion peeled and diced
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 96 ounces low-sodium chicken broth plus more if desired
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon pepper plus more to taste
- 1 teaspoon sea salt plus more to taste
- 4 cups uncooked wide egg noodles
- 3 cups shredded cooked chicken about 1.5 lbs boneless chicken breasts
- ¼ cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves finely chopped
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice optional
Instructions
- Fill a large pot with water and once the water is boiling, cook your egg noodles according to the package, drain and set aside.
- In a separate large pot or Dutch oven, add the oil and heat over medium-high heat to warm. Add the carrots, celery and onion to Dutch oven and sauté for about 7 minutes, or until vegetables begin to soften. Stir intermittently. Add the garlic and sauté for another 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add the chicken broth, bay leaves, thyme, oregano, pepper, salt, and bring to a boil. Allow mixture to boil gently for about 5 minutes or until vegetables are fork-tender.
- Add the shredded chicken, parsley, lemon juice, if using, and boil for 1 to 2 minutes, or until chicken is warmed through.
- Taste soup and add salt to taste. This will vary based on how salty the brand of chicken broth used is, how salty the rotisserie chicken is, and personal preference. Make any necessary seasoning adjustments (i.e. more pepper, herbs, etc.) and remove the bay leaves.
- When ready to serve, add about ⅔ cup of cooked noodles into a bowl and scoop soup over the noodles and serve immediately.
Notes
- Chicken broth: You can use regular chicken broth if desired. You probably won't need to add any additional salt.
- Want to cook chicken directly in the broth? Add the chicken when you add the chicken broth and spices. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Cook the chicken for about 20 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked. When chicken is fully cooked, remove and shred. Add chicken back into soup along with fresh parsley and lemon juice.
