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.
