Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Season the chicken breast with salt and black pepper, then add it to the pot. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until lightly browned. Remove chicken from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion, minced garlic, diced carrots, and diced celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften.
Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and add dried thyme and dried parsley. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
While the broth is heating, shred or dice the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces. Return the chicken to the pot.
Add the egg noodles to the pot and cook for 7-8 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.
Stir in the frozen peas and fresh spinach leaves. Let simmer for an additional 2 minutes, until the spinach wilts and the peas are heated through.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and black pepper, if necessary.
Divide the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
