Hearty, healing chicken soup with egg noodles and fresh vegetables provides both comfort and nutrition. The gentle simmer extracts maximum flavor from the chicken while keeping the vegetables tender-crisp.
### How to Make Grandma’s Chicken Noodle Soup
Follow these simple steps for perfect chicken noodle soup every time:
1. Sauté diced onion, carrots, and celery in olive oil until softened (5 minutes)
2. Add minced garlic and cook 1 minute until fragrant
3. Pour in low-sodium chicken broth and bring to a boil
4. Add boneless skinless chicken breasts; simmer 15 minutes until cooked through
5. Remove chicken, shred with forks, and return to pot
6. Stir in egg noodles and simmer 8-10 minutes until tender
7. Season with dried thyme, salt, and black pepper
8. Stir in fresh parsley just before serving
### The Key to Perfect Consistency
Don’t overcook the noodles—add them only when the chicken is almost done to prevent mushiness. For extra depth, use homemade chicken stock or add a splash of white wine to the sauté step.
