Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion chopped
- 2 carrots sliced
- 2 celery stalks sliced
- 8 cups chicken stock homemade or low-sodium store-bought
- 2 cups cooked chicken shredded or chopped
- 2 cups egg noodles
- 1 tsp dried thyme or Italian seasoning
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5–7 minutes until onions are soft and translucent.
- Add chicken stock and bring to a boil. Stir in seasoning and cooked chicken.

Notes
Want to freeze it? Leave out the noodles and add them fresh when reheating. Use rotisserie chicken for a quick shortcut. Don’t skip the sautéed veggies—they’re the flavor foundation!
