Ingredients

1 tablespoon canola oil
2 large carrots (peeled and chopped)
2 ribs celery (chopped)
½ medium onion (finely diced)
1½ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried parsley
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon tumeric (optional)
6 cups low sodium chicken broth
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about ¾lb or 340g)
2 cups dried egg noodles
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Add oil to a 4 quart dutch oven or soup pot and heat over medium-high heat.
Add carrots, celery and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add salt, garlic, parsley, thyme, pepper and tumeric (if using). Cook and stir 1 minute.
Add broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to remove any bits that might be stuck on.
Add the chicken breasts and bring back to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 10 minutes until chicken is cooked through. Remove chicken breasts to shred.
Stir in egg noodles and simmer 10 minutes or until al dente. When noodles are cooked, stir shredded chicken back into soup and adjust salt and pepper to taste before serving.

Notes

Ingredients and Substitutions:

Chicken: you can swap the chicken breasts for boneless, skinless chicken thighs without changing the recipe. You can also omit or swap for white beans for a meatless soup.
Carrot, celery and onion: form a mirepoix which is a classic for Chicken Noodle Soup. You can adjust these to your tastes or add in extra vegetables as you see fit.
Pasta: I love to use egg noodles here but you can use any short pasta, including gluten-free (I recommend cooking gluten-free pasta separately and adding in each bowl just before serving).
