Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1.5 cups chopped celery
  • 1.5 cups chopped carrots
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 10 cups chicken broth ((I like Imagine Organic and Swanson brands))
  • 10 sprigs fresh thyme*
  • 3 cups finely chopped chicken breast or thighs (seasoned with a pinch of salt and pepper)
  • 8 oz pappardelle egg noodles (or other desired noodle, cooked**)

Instruction

  • Heat a soup pot over medium heat, then add the olive oil, celery, carrots, onion, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 10 minutes until softened.
  • Add the chicken broth and thyme, bring the soup to a boil, then reduce to a simmer over low heat.
  • Simmer for 10 minutes, then add the chopped chicken and simmer for 3 minutes, until the meat is cooked through.
  • Taste the broth and make any necessary seasoning adjustments. Depending on the salt content of the broth you use, it may need additional salt.  
  • Serve the soup in bowls with a handful of noodles added to each one. Enjoy!
