Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 carrot, thinly sliced
- 1 stalk celery, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 3 cups chicken broth (low-sodium, if preferred)
- 1 cup egg noodles (or your favorite pasta)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley or thyme, optionally chopped for garnish
Instructions
Begin by warming the olive oil in a medium-sized pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, sliced carrot, and celery, and sauté for about five minutes, or until the onions become translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute, ensuring it doesn’t brown.
Next, add the bite-sized chicken pieces to the pot. Season lightly with salt and pepper, and let the chicken cook just until its outside turns opaque. Pour in the chicken broth, and bring the soup to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for about ten minutes, letting the flavors mingle.
Drop in the egg noodles, stirring occasionally to prevent them from sticking. Simmer until the pasta is cooked through, typically about seven to ten minutes. Taste and adjust with more salt and pepper if needed. Finally, scatter the chopped parsley or thyme (if using) on top for a fresh pop of color.
All that’s left is ladling this classic, comforting soup into two warm bowls and enjoying it together.
