Instructions

Sauté Vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery, cooking for about 5–6 minutes until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until it releases its aroma but does not brown.
Add Broth and Main Ingredients: Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth, then add the shredded cooked chicken, egg noodles, dried thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper to the pot.
Simmer Soup: Bring the soup to a rolling boil, then reduce heat to low and let it simmer gently for 10–12 minutes until the egg noodles are tender and cooked through.
Finish and Serve: Remove the bay leaf and stir in fresh chopped parsley if using. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed before serving hot.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken broth or simmer a raw chicken breast in the soup and shred it once cooked.
Feel free to swap egg noodles for other pasta shapes, or use gluten-free noodles if needed.
Leftover soup can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
Adding a squeeze of lemon or a dash of hot sauce can brighten the flavor when serving.
