Ingredients
Scale
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 large onion, diced
2 carrots, peeled and diced
2 stalks celery, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 cups chicken broth
2 cups water
1 cup uncooked egg noodles
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Prepare the Ingredients:
Start by prepping all your ingredients. Dice the onion, carrots, and celery, mince the garlic, and cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Having everything ready makes the cooking process smoother.
Combine the Base Ingredients:
In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine the chicken broth, water, chicken, onion, carrots, celery, garlic, parsley, and thyme. Stir well to mix the flavors evenly.
Bring to a Boil and Simmer:
Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes. This allows the vegetables to soften and the chicken to cook through, infusing the broth with flavor.
Add the Egg Noodles:
Stir in the uncooked egg noodles and let them cook in the simmering soup for 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent the noodles from sticking together.
Season to Taste:
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Remember to taste as you go to achieve the perfect balance of flavors.
Serve and Enjoy:
Ladle the hot soup into bowls, garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy the comforting warmth of your homemade chicken noodle soup!
Notes
For a richer flavor, you can use chicken thighs instead of breasts.
Adjust the cooking time for the noodles based on your preference for firmness.
