Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Begin by dicing the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Chop the carrots, celery, onions, and garlic so they're ready to go.
  2. In a large pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions, cooking until translucent. Toss in the carrots and celery, sautéing until softened, around 5-7 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic.
  3. Add the diced chicken to the vegetables. Cook until chicken is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil.
  4. Add the egg noodles, stirring gently. Let simmer for about 8 minutes until al dente.
  5. Reduce heat to low, stir in heavy cream. Season with salt, pepper, thyme, and parsley, adjusting to taste.
  6. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnishing with chopped parsley. Serve with crispy bread if desired.

Notes

Add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan for extra flavor! Store leftover soup without noodles to prevent mushiness.
