Ingredients

• 1 rotisserie chicken, shredded

• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 carrots, peeled and chopped

• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 8 cups chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1 bay leaf
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 cups egg noodles
• Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Step-by-step Directions

1. Sauté the Vegetables

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.

2. Add Garlic

Add the garlic and continue to cook for another minute until it becomes fragrant.

3. Simmer with Seasonings

Pour in the chicken broth and stir in dried thyme, parsley, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and allow it to cook for 10 minutes to let the flavors meld together.

4. Cook the Noodles

Add the egg noodles to the simmering broth and cook for another 8-10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.

5. Add the Chicken

Stir in the shredded rotisserie chicken and continue to cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, just until the chicken is heated through.

6. Final Adjustments and Serve

Remove the bay leaf from the soup. Adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley before serving hot.
