Let’s make some soup that feels like home! Heat the olive oil or butter in a big pot over medium heat. Toss in the onion, carrots, and celery—give ‘em a stir and let them soften up for about 5-7 minutes. It’s the start of something good!
Add the minced garlic and stir it around for 30 seconds—just enough to get that garlicky hug going. Don’t let it burn, though; it’s too precious!
Pour in the chicken broth—watch it all come together! Crank the heat up a bit until it starts to simmer. You’ll feel the warmth already.
Toss in the egg noodles and let them cook in the broth for about 8-10 minutes, or until they’re tender. Stir now and then so they don’t stick—those little noodles love to cuddle up!
Add the shredded chicken and stir it in. It’s like welcoming an old friend back to the pot. Let it heat through for a couple minutes—everything should be nice and hot now.
Taste it—oh man, doesn’t it just hit the spot? Add salt and pepper until it’s perfect for you. If you’ve got parsley, chop some up and sprinkle it in for a fresh little kick.
Ladle it into big bowls and serve it up steaming hot. Pair it with some crusty bread or just sip it straight from the spoon—this is the kind of soup that warms your soul. Enjoy every slurp!
