Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skinless)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
• 3 medium celery stalks, sliced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 8 cups chicken broth
• 2 cups water
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 leaves bay leaves
• 2 cups egg noodles
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, ground

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the chicken thighs and sear on both sides until lightly golden, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and sliced celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth and water, then stir in the dried thyme, bay leaves, salt, and pepper.

Step 6

Return the chicken thighs to the pot and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Step 7

Remove the chicken thighs from the pot and shred the meat using two forks, discarding the bones. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.

Step 8

Stir in the egg noodles and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 10

Remove the bay leaves and stir in the fresh parsley just before serving.

Step 11

Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy warm.
