Instructions
- In a large dutch oven, over medium heat, add oil. Stir in the onion, carrots, and celery, and sauté for 4 minutes.
- Add the garlic and sauté an additional minute. Then stir in the broth, chicken breast, salt, pepper, oregano, thyme and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat.
- Once simmering, cover pot with the lid slightly askew and cook until the chicken is tender and easily shreds, about 15 minutes. Using 2 forks shred the breast into the broth. Shred the chicken into larger or small pieces, whichever you prefer.
- Bring the soup to a low boil and add the egg noodles. Cook for 6 to 7 minutes, or until pasta is al dente. Serve warm with fresh chopped parsley and your favorite bread or crackers on the side.

Notes
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Then you can reheat it on the stovetop or microwave. Keep in mind that the noodles will absorb some of the broth, especially when storing leftovers. So we usually add a little extra broth when we reheat leftovers.
Freezing: This soup freezes well, but we highly recommend freezing it without the noodles, as they can become mushy. Simply thaw the soup and add fresh noodles when reheating. You can freeze the soup for up to 3 months in an airtight container.
Make Ahead: This soup is great for meal prep! Make a big batch and enjoy it throughout the week for quick lunches or dinners. Just wait to add the noodles until you’re ready to serve to keep them from getting soggy.
