Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1.5 lbs Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs
  • 1 Large Yellow Onion chopped
  • 2 Large Carrots peeled and sliced
  • 2 stalks Celery sliced
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Ginger minced
  • 4 cloves Garlic minced
  • 8 cups Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
  • 6 oz Egg Noodles uncooked
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley chopped
  • 1 tsp Salt or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper or to taste

Equipment

  • 1 Large Pot or Dutch Oven
  • 1 Cutting Board

Instructions
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper and sear on both sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
  2. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced ginger and garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Return the chicken to the pot and add the chicken broth. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  4. Carefully remove the chicken from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the soup. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package directions, typically about 7-10 minutes.
  5. Stir in the fresh parsley and season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.

Notes

Tip 1: For noodles that don't get soggy in leftovers, cook them separately and add them to individual bowls before ladling the hot soup over them.
Tip 2: Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms or peas for extra nutrition and flavor.
Tip 3: A squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end can brighten up the flavors of the soup.
