Simple Chicken Noodle Soup
We all need a simple chicken noodle soup recipe in our back pocket. This is my quick, from-scratch, soothing recipe for when you need a little TLC.
Servings 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion chopped (about 1 cup)
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic about 2 cloves
- 3 medium carrots cut into 1/8-inch rounds (about 1 1/2 cups)
- 2 stalks celery cut into 1/8-inch half moons (about 1 cup)
- 1 inch round 1/8-inch thick ginger optional
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 3/4 lb chicken tenderloin
- 1 sprig fresh thyme or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 4 ounces medium egg noodles
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Freshly minced flat leaf parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or soup pot over medium-low heat. Sauté the onions until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic, carrots, celery, and ginger, if using, and continue to sauté until the celery begins to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Add the chicken broth, and bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer. Add the chicken and thyme to the broth, and simmer, partially covered, until the chicken is tender, about 20 minutes.
- Remove the chicken and place on a plate. Shred the chicken with forks.
- Meanwhile, return the broth to a boil. Add the noodles and cook until the noodles are just tender. Return the chicken to the pot, and adjust the seasoning as necessary with salt and pepper.
- Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and enjoy.
