**Ingredients:**
– 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 8 cups of chicken broth
– 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
– 2 celery stalks, diced
– 1 onion, chopped
– 2 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
– 1 teaspoon of dried parsley
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 8 oz of egg noodles
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
**Instructions:**
1. In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a gentle boil over medium heat.
2. Add the whole chicken breasts to the pot and let them cook for about 15-20 minutes until fully cooked through.
3. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the broth and set it aside to cool slightly before shredding it into bite-sized pieces.
4. In the same pot with the broth, add the sliced carrots, diced celery, chopped onion, minced garlic, dried thyme, and dried parsley. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste.
5. Let the vegetables simmer in the broth for about 10-15 minutes until they are tender yet still slightly crisp.
6. While the vegetables are cooking, bring a separate pot of water to boil and cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
7. Add the shredded chicken back into the pot with the vegetables and broth. Let the soup simmer for an additional 10 minutes to allow all the flavors to meld together.
8. Finally, stir in the cooked egg noodles and let them simmer in the soup for another 5 minutes.
9. Adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Remember, the longer the soup sits, the more the flavors will develop, so feel free to let it simmer longer if you have the time.
10. Serve the Home Made Chicken Noodle Soup hot in bowls, garnished with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
This comforting soup is a true crowd-pleaser and a heartwarming dish that brings everyone together. Enjoy the warmth and delicious flavors of this homemade chicken noodle soup with your loved ones, creating memories and spreading joy with every spoonful.
