How to make Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup
Heat olive oil in a large soup pot or Dutch oven. Add the carrots, onion, and celery and sauté until vegetables start to soften, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for one additional minute.
Add the chicken broth, shredded chicken pieces, noodles, thyme, and basil.
I wasn’t paying attention and added too many noodles. You want half as many as you see above.
Bring to a boil then simmer until the noodles are cooked and the vegetables are fork tender, about 10 minutes.
Ladle hot soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve with saltine crackers or buttermilk biscuits, and a tossed green salad for a complete meal.
See how simple that was, and it only took about 35 to 40 minutes to make!
