Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced

Vegetables

  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced

Carbohydrates

  • 2 cups egg noodles

Liquids

  • 6 cups chicken broth

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Broth and Vegetables: In a large pot or Dutch oven, pour the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Add the sliced carrots into the simmering broth and cook until they are tender, about 10 minutes.
  2. Add the Chicken: Add the cooked, shredded chicken to the pot with the simmering broth and carrots, allowing the flavors to meld together for 5 minutes.
  3. Cook the Noodles: Stir in the egg noodles and continue simmering until the noodles are cooked through and tender, about 7-8 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Final Seasoning and Serve: Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or herbs if desired.

Notes

  • For richer flavor, use homemade chicken broth or bone broth if possible.
  • Substitute noodles with gluten-free noodles if needed for dietary restrictions.
  • Shredded rotisserie chicken can be a convenient shortcut to save cooking time.
  • Add garlic or onions in the broth at the beginning for more depth of flavor.
