Ingredients
  

For the Soup Base
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Can be replaced with vegetable oil for a lighter profile.
  • 1 medium Onion Diced; shallots or leeks can be used for a milder taste.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Minced; fresh is best, but garlic powder works in a pinch.
  • 2 medium Carrots Sliced; substitute with parsnips or sweet potatoes for a twist.
  • 1 teaspoon Thyme Offers herbal notes; dried thyme can be used instead of fresh.
  • 8 cups Chicken Stock Homemade is ideal, while store-bought is convenient.
For the Soup
  • 3 cups Egg Noodles Opt for gluten-free noodles for a gluten-free version.
  • 3 cups Cooked Chicken Add heartiness and protein; leftover roast chicken works perfectly.
  • 1-2 teaspoons Kosher Salt For seasoning; adjust to taste.
  • 1-2 teaspoons Black Pepper For seasoning; adjust to taste.
  • 1/4 cup Parsley Freshly chopped; can be replaced with chives if desired.

Equipment

  • large soup pot

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large soup pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add 1 diced onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 2 sliced carrots, stirring frequently. Cook for about 6 minutes until the vegetables soften.
  2. Pour in 8 cups of chicken stock, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil. Once boiling, add 3 cups of egg noodles and stir well to combine. Allow the soup to simmer uncovered for about 5 minutes, or until the noodles are tender but firm.
  3. Stir in 3 cups of cooked, shredded chicken, making sure it is evenly distributed throughout the soup. Let the soup simmer for another 2-3 minutes, heating the chicken through until it’s warmed and combined.
  4. Taste the soup and season with kosher salt and black pepper to your preference. Stir well to incorporate the seasonings and ensure each bowl is filled with flavor.
  5. Ladle the steaming soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Serve hot.
