How to Make Best Chicken Soup Ever
- Place the whole chicken (or chicken thighs) in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 1 hour, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Remove the chicken from the pot and let it cool slightly. Shred the chicken meat, discarding the skin and bones.
- While the chicken is cooking, heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the shredded chicken, chicken broth, salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf to the pot. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes.
- Stir in the egg noodles and cook until tender, about 8-10 minutes, or according to package directions.
- Remove the bay leaf before serving. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley, if desired.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
