Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 diced onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 2 sliced carrots. Sauté for about 6 minutes until the vegetables are softened but not browned.
  2. Pour in 6 cups of chicken stock, bringing the mixture to a rolling boil. Add 1 bay leaf and 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme, letting the flavors meld together.
  3. Once boiling, add 2 cups of dried wide egg noodles. Stir gently and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes until tender yet al dente.
  4. Stir in 3 cups of shredded cooked chicken and let it simmer for an additional 2 minutes until heated through.
  5. Remove the bay leaf and season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Sprinkle with finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley before serving.
