Ingredients

Scale

2 cups cooked shredded chicken
8 cups low-sodium chicken broth or stock
2 cups uncooked egg noodles
2 large carrots, peeled and sliced into thin rounds
2 stalks celery, sliced thin
1 medium onion, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 bay leaves
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large stockpot over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and celery. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and fragrant.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute, making sure it doesn’t burn.
Pour in the chicken broth and add the bay leaves. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Once the broth is boiling, add the egg noodles. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 7-8 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.
Stir in the shredded chicken and let it heat through for 3-5 minutes.
Turn off the heat and stir in the lemon juice for a refreshing zing.
Remove the bay leaves, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve your comforting chicken noodle soup warm.

Notes

[‘Cook noodles separately if storing leftovers to prevent sogginess.’, ‘Sauté vegetables and garlic before adding broth to build deeper flavor.’, ‘Use homemade chicken stock for enhanced flavor.’, ‘Adjust seasoning before serving with extra salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.’, ‘Experiment with adding extra vegetables like spinach, peas, or corn for added nutrition.’]
