Ingredients

Scale

Gather the following ingredients to make Fresh Herb Chicken Noodle Soup:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 medium carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 cups chicken broth (low-sodium preferred)
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
  • 1 ½ cups egg noodles or any pasta of choice
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional for a fresh finish)

Instructions

Prepare the Base:

  1. Heat the Oil: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
  2. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

Simmer the Soup:

  1. Add Broth and Seasonings: Pour in the chicken broth and add the thyme, rosemary, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and bring the soup to a gentle boil.
  2. Add Noodles and Chicken: Add the egg noodles to the pot and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the noodles are al dente. Add the shredded chicken and let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes, until everything is heated through.
  3. Adjust Seasonings: Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper, if needed.

Finish the Soup:

  1. Add Fresh Herbs: Stir in the fresh parsley and lemon juice, if using, for a bright, fresh finish. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
