Method

Preparation

Start by chopping the chicken breast, carrots, celery, onion, and garlic into bite-sized pieces.
Heat a splash of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions first, and then toss in the carrots, celery, and garlic, sautéing until softened.
Add the diced chicken to the pot, cooking until no longer pink, then pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil.
Add the egg noodles and let them simmer according to package instructions.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Season with salt, pepper, thyme, and parsley.
Ladle the warm soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

For an extra layer of flavor, sprinkle grated parmesan cheese on top before serving. Store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 3 days in the fridge or up to 3 months in the freezer without noodles.
