1. 1 tablespoon olive oil

2. 1 onion, chopped

3. 2 carrots, sliced

4. 2 celery stalks, sliced

5. 2 cloves garlic, minced

6. 8 cups chicken broth

7. 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

8. 2 cups uncooked egg noodles

9. Salt and pepper to taste

10. 1 bay leaf

11. Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)


Instructions:


  • Heat the olive oil in a sizable pot over medium heat, and once shimmering, introduce the diced onion, sliced carrots, and celery. Allow them to sautΓ© until tender, approximately 5 to 7 minutes.

  • Incorporate the minced garlic into the pot and sautΓ© for an additional minute until its aroma permeates the air.

  • Pour in the chicken broth and add the whole chicken breasts and bay leaf to the pot. Bring the mixture to a vigorous boil, then lower the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Allow it to gently bubble away for approximately 20-25 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.


  • Extract the chicken breasts from the pot and use a pair of forks to tear them into shreds. Subsequently, reintroduce the shredded chicken back into the pot.


  • Add the uncooked egg noodles to the pot and let them cook according to package instructions, usually about 7-8 minutes.


  • Adjust the flavor of the soup to your liking by seasoning it with salt and pepper according to your preferences.


  • Remove the bay leaf from the soup.


  • Present piping hot, optionally adorned with finely chopped fresh parsley for an added touch of vibrancy, if so desired.
