Chicken Noodle Soup

The ultimate comfort classic: a clean, herby chicken broth loaded with tender shredded chicken, soft carrots and celery, and egg noodles. Poaching bone-in chicken thighs directly in the broth builds real depth without needing a separate stock.

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery, and sauté 6-7 minutes until softened.
  2. Add garlic and cook 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth, then add the chicken thighs, bay leaves, and thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer covered 25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
  4. Remove the chicken thighs to a plate. Once cool enough to handle, discard skin and bones, shred the meat, and return it to the pot.
  5. Bring the soup back to a simmer and add the egg noodles. Cook 8-10 minutes, or according to package directions, until tender.
  6. Remove bay leaves, stir in parsley, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Ladle into bowls and garnish with extra parsley.
