Ingredients
  

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 medium carrots, sliced

2 celery stalks, sliced

4 cups low-sodium chicken broth

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and black pepper to taste

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (using rotisserie chicken is perfect for convenience)

1 cup egg noodles

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (optional, for refreshing serving)

Instructions
 

Sauté the Vegetables: In a spacious pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced onion and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes translucent and fragrant. Next, stir in the minced garlic, followed by the sliced carrots and celery. Continue cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender yet still vibrant.

    Add Broth and Seasonings: Gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring well to incorporate. Season the broth with dried thyme, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Increase the heat to medium-high and allow the mixture to reach a gentle simmer.

      Cook the Noodles: Once the broth is simmering, add the egg noodles to the pot. Cook according to the package instructions, typically around 5-7 minutes, until the noodles are tender but still maintain a slight bite (al dente).

        Add Chicken: In the final two minutes of cooking the noodles, gently stir in the shredded chicken, allowing it to heat through and absorb the flavors of the broth.

          Final Touches: Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary. Remove the pot from heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley, enhancing the soup with a bright, herbal note.

            Serve: Ladle the warm, comforting soup into bowls. For a delightful twist, serve with lemon wedges on the side, encouraging a fresh squeeze right before tasting. Enjoy every spoonful of your cozy, homemade chicken noodle soup!
