Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion, sliced carrots, and chopped celery. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
  2. Pour in the chicken stock and stir in the bay leaves, dried thyme, dried oregano, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
  3. Once boiling, add the chopped or shredded cooked chicken to the pot. Allow the soup to simmer for 10-15 minutes, letting the flavors meld together beautifully.
  4. Add the egg noodles to the pot and continue to simmer until the noodles are tender, usually about 7-10 minutes, depending on the package instructions.
  5. Stir in the minced fresh parsley and season with salt to taste. Remove the bay leaves before serving.

Notes

  • For a heartier soup, add diced potatoes.
  • Incorporate seasonal vegetables like peas or asparagus for a fresh twist.
  • Experiment with herbs like dill or rosemary for varied flavors.
