  4. Add the diced chicken to the pot, cooking until it turns golden brown and is no longer pink.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth, stirring thoroughly. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
  6. Add the egg noodles to the pot and simmer according to the package instructions.
  7. Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Season with thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper to taste.
  8. Ladle the comforting soup into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
