Instructions
Saute the vegetables
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and sliced celery. Cook for 6 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften. Add the minced garlic and dried thyme and cook for 1 more minute.
Cook the chicken
Add the whole chicken breasts directly to the pot. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a steady simmer and cook the chicken for 20 minutes until fully cooked through.
Shred the chicken
Remove the cooked chicken breasts from the pot and place on a cutting board. Use two forks to shred the chicken into bite sized pieces. Return the shredded chicken back to the pot.
Add the noodles
Bring the soup back to a boil and add the egg noodles. Cook according to package directions, usually 7 to 9 minutes, until the noodles are tender. Do not overcook the noodles or they will become mushy.
Season and serve
Taste the soup and season with salt and black pepper as needed. Stir in the fresh chopped parsley. Ladle into bowls and serve hot with crusty bread or crackers on the side.
