Ingredients
  

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 medium onion, diced into small pieces

2 carrots, sliced into thin rounds

2 celery stalks, chopped into small pieces

3 garlic cloves, minced finely

6 cups low-sodium chicken broth

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (using rotisserie chicken works wonderfully!)

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 bay leaf

Salt and pepper to taste

2 cups egg noodles

1 cup fresh spinach (optional, for added freshness)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Sauté Vegetables: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and chopped celery. Sauté these vegetables for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and the onion becomes translucent.

    Add Garlic: Once the vegetables are softened, stir in the minced garlic. Sauté for an additional minute until you can smell the fragrant aroma of the garlic.

      Broth and Seasoning: Pour in the chicken broth, and then add the shredded chicken. Sprinkle in the dried thyme and oregano, add the bay leaf, and season generously with salt and pepper. Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

        Add Noodles: When the soup reaches a boil, add the egg noodles to the pot. Cook according to package instructions (which is typically about 7-10 minutes) until the noodles are tender and cooked through.

          Finish with Spinach: If you’re including spinach, stir it into the soup during the last couple of minutes of cooking, allowing it to wilt just slightly. Once finished, remove the pot from the heat.

            Serve: Carefully remove the bay leaf from the soup. Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with extra salt and pepper if needed. Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your heartfelt bowl of cozy chicken noodle soup!
