**Soup Nazi Chicken Noodle Soup**
**Ingredients:**
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 onion, diced
– 2 carrots, sliced
– 2 celery stalks, chopped
– 3 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1 bay leaf
– 8 cups chicken broth
– 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 2 cups wide egg noodles
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
**Instructions:**
1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and chopped celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and fragrant.
2. Add minced garlic, dried thyme, and the bay leaf to the pot. Stir for another minute to release the flavors of the herbs.
3. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Add the boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the pot and let them cook for about 15-20 minutes until fully cooked through.
4. Remove the chicken breasts from the pot and transfer them to a cutting board. Shred the chicken using two forks or chop it into bite-sized pieces, then return the chicken to the pot.
5. Add the wide egg noodles to the pot and cook them according to the package instructions until they are tender.
6. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting as needed. Remember that the chicken broth may already have salt, so be careful not to over-salt the soup.
7. Once the noodles are cooked, remove the bay leaf from the soup. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
8. Ladle the Soup Nazi Chicken Noodle Soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. The vibrant green parsley adds a refreshing touch to the dish and elevates the flavor profile.
9. Serve the soup hot, alongside some crusty bread or crackers for a cozy and satisfying meal that will warm both body and spirit.
