Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie or homemade)
  • 8 cups chicken broth or stock
  • 3 cups egg noodles
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 bay leaves
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Sauté chopped onion, carrots, and celery until softened.
  3. Add minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Stir in shredded chicken, chicken broth, bay leaves, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle boil.
  5. Reduce heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes to develop flavor.
  6. Add egg noodles and cook for 8–10 minutes, or until tender.
  7. Remove bay leaves. Adjust seasoning. Stir in fresh parsley and optional lemon juice before serving.

Notes

  • For best texture, cook noodles separately if storing leftovers.
  • Swap egg noodles with rice, orzo, or gluten-free pasta if preferred.
  • Add a splash of cream or butter for a richer broth.
  • Dried herbs can be used (use half the amount of fresh).
  • Freezes well—just add fresh herbs and noodles when reheating.
  • Vegetarian version: Replace chicken with chickpeas and use vegetable broth.
