Chicken Noodle Soup

The other day I had a craving for chicken noodle soup. It was a strange craving considering I am not unwell or pregnant and it's now June. Oh well, I made soup anyways haha.

Chicken Noodle Soup

2 tbsp olive oil
1 onion
2 stalks celery + leaves
2 carrots
3 cloves garlic
8 cups chicken broth
2 bone-in skinless chicken breasts
1/2 tsp thyme
1 tsp oregano
2 bay leaves
2 cups cooked egg noodles

Finely dice onion, celery leaves and garlic. Chop celery stalks and carrots. Heat olive oil on medium low in a large stock pot. Add onion, celery stalks and leaves, garlic and carrots. Sweat vegetables for approximately 10-15 minutes until onions start to become translucent.

Add chicken breast to pot and cover with 4 cups of broth or until broth is just cover chicken. Add thyme, oregano and bay leaves. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 1 hour.

Remove chicken breasts from pot. On cutting board, remove meat from chicken breast, discard bones and place meat into pot. Remove bay leaves from pot. Add remaining chicken broth and egg noodles. Heat until desired temperature has been reached; approximately 10 minutes.

Enjoy!
