Instructions

How to Make Cozy Ultimate Chicken Noodle Soup

  • Start by chopping the boneless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and finely dicing the carrots and celery. Fresh garlic should be minced to unleash its aromatic flavor.
  • In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, diced onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and fragrant.
  • Carefully incorporate the chopped chicken into the pot. Sauté until the chicken pieces are lightly browned, giving them about 4-5 minutes to develop a golden color.
  • Add the chicken broth, bay leaves, and dried thyme to the pot. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to combine the flavors.
  • Stir in the egg noodles and reduce the heat to low. Let the soup simmer for approximately 10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender yet al dente, soaking in all the delicious broth.
  • Sample the broth and season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Don’t hesitate to add a little more if needed; that's where the magic happens!
  • Ladle the cozy ultimate chicken noodle soup into warm bowls. Serve it alongside crusty bread or savory crackers for a delightful meal experience.
