Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 3 carrots
  • 3 ribs of celery
  • 1 yellow onion
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 ½ teaspoons fine sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 cups chicken broth
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts*
  • 6 oz. egg noodles (about 4 cups)

Instructions
 

  • Wash, peel, and slice the carrots. Wash and slice the celery. Dice the onion. And mince the garlic cloves.
  • In a dutch oven or large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the carrots, celery, and onion. Sauté for 5 minutes stirring occasionally. Then add the garlic and sauté for an additional 30 seconds.
  • Now add the Italian seasoning, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper to the pot. Stir the seasoning in with the veggies.
  • Carefully add the chicken broth to the pot and stir. Now place the chicken breasts inside the pot.
  • Cover the pot with a lid and bring it to a boil. Once the pot is boiling, immediately reduce the heat to medium-low and gently simmer the soup for 45 minutes. Make sure the pot stays at a steady simmer.
  • After 45 minutes remove the chicken breasts and transfer to a clean plate or cutting board. Shred the chicken with two forks and set aside.
  • Increase the heat on the pot to medium-high and once the pot starts boiling add the egg noodles. Cook the noodles until they are al dente, roughly 5 minutes.
  • Now add the shredded chicken back to the pot and stir. Turn the heat off and add some freshly chopped parsley and a little more black pepper (optional). Get ready to enjoy a big bowl of delicious chicken noodle soup with your favorite crusty bread.

Notes

  1. If using a rotisserie chicken, remove the skin, shred the chicken meat, then add the chicken with the broth and simmer the soup for 15 minutes. Proceed with cooking the noodles then serve.
