Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 1 large yellow onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 8 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
- 1 cup egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until browned on all sides. Remove chicken from pot and set aside.
- Add onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Return chicken to the pot. Add chicken broth, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
- Remove chicken from the pot and shred it. Return shredded chicken to the pot.
- Add egg noodles and cook according to package directions, usually 7-10 minutes.
- Stir in fresh parsley. Serve hot.
Notes
- For a richer broth, you can use a whole chicken and simmer it for longer, then shred the meat.
- Add noodles in the last 10 minutes of cooking to prevent them from becoming mushy.
- This soup is a great base for meal planning.
