Calories: 227kcal
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- ½ large onion finely chopped (about 100g)
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ lb chicken thighs, bone-in and skinless 225g by weight
- 4 cups chicken broth or stock 960ml
- 1 bay leaf
- ½ teaspoon fresh or dried thyme
- 2 large carrots sliced (about 150g)
- 1-2 celery stalks sliced (about 75g)
- 1 cup noodles (egg noodles or your choice) 60g by weight
- Salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
Instructions
- Heat olive oil or butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the chicken thighs to the pot and pour in the chicken broth or stock, the bay leaf and thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Remove the chicken thighs from the pot and set them aside to cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces, discarding the bones.
- Add the sliced carrots, celery, and shredded chicken to the pot. Bring to a boil again, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes
- Stir in the noodles. Cook according to the noodle package instructions, usually about 6-8 minutes, until the noodles are tender.
- Season with salt to taste. Remove the bay leaf and discard it, then sprinkle each bowl with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
Added Flavor: For extra flavor, you can sauté the chicken thighs in the pot before adding the broth, creating a deeper, richer taste in the broth itself.
Different Veggies: Feel free to add other vegetables you tolerate for added texture and flavor.
Thicker Soup: If you prefer a thicker soup, you can add a slurry of starch and water during the final simmer.
Storage: This soup can be stored in the freezer for up to 4 months. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
Gluten-Free: For a gluten-free version, make sure you use gluten-free noodles or rice.
