Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 2 carrots peeled and sliced
  • 2 celery ribs sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 7 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 3/4 tsp fine salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 6 oz wide egg noodles

Method
 

  1. Heat oil in large soup pot over medium. Cook onion, carrots, and celery 5 minutes, then garlic 30 seconds.
  2. Add chicken, broth, bay, thyme, salt, and pepper. Gently simmer partly covered 20 to 25 minutes until chicken 165°F.
  3. Transfer chicken to plate; remove bay. Add noodles; simmer 6 to 8 minutes, or package time, until just tender.
  4. While noodles cook, shred chicken into bite-size pieces, discarding tough connective tissue.
  5. Return chicken; heat 1 minute. Serve promptly to keep noodles intact.
