Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup carrots, sliced
- 1 cup celery, sliced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups egg noodles
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Sauté the vegetables: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions, sliced carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and the onions become translucent.
- Add broth and seasonings: Pour in the chicken broth and add the garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir well and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Cook the noodles and chicken: Once boiling, stir in the egg noodles and shredded chicken. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and let it cook for about 15 minutes. This will allow the noodles to become tender and infuse the flavors throughout.
- Finish and serve: After 15 minutes, check the noodles for doneness. Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more salt or pepper if necessary. Serve hot in bowls, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
For a richer broth, consider using homemade chicken broth or add a splash of white wine after sautéing the vegetables.
