During those chilly winter nights, nothing warms the soul quite like a steaming bowl of Chicken Noodle Soup. I remember my grandmother preparing this very recipe on cold, snowy evenings, the aromatic scents of herbs and chicken filling her kitchen, creating a sense of warmth and home.
- 1 tablespoon olive oil,
- 2 cups chopped onions,
- 1 cup diced carrots,
- 1 cup diced celery,
- 2 cloves garlic, minced,
- 1 pound cooked chicken breast, shredded,
- 8 cups chicken broth,
- 2 bay leaves,
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme,
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano,
- Salt and pepper to taste,
- 2 cups egg noodles,
In a large soup pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions, diced carrots, and diced celery. Cook until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the shredded cooked chicken breast and pour in the chicken broth. Add bay leaves, dried thyme, and dried oregano. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes to meld the flavors together.
Add the egg noodles to the pot and cook according to the package instructions, typically for about 6-8 minutes, until the noodles are al dente. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Once the noodles are cooked, remove the bay leaves and serve the soup hot. Enjoy this comforting classic that brings back memories of home-cooked meals and warmth. Perfect for dinner, and even better as leftovers for lunch the next day.
