Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Chicken Noodle Soup
  1. Begin by heating 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, add diced celery, carrots, and onion. Sauté the mixture for about 6-7 minutes until softened.
  2. Stir in minced garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Then, sprinkle in Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, mixing well.
  3. Carefully pour in approximately 6 cups of chicken broth and bring to a vigorous boil over high heat.
  4. Once boiling, add in uncooked egg noodles. Reduce heat to a gentle simmer and cook uncovered for about 8-10 minutes until noodles are al dente.
  5. If using fresh chicken breasts, take them out carefully and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.
  6. Give your soup a good stir, taste to adjust seasoning as needed, and then serve hot.

Ensure vegetables are diced evenly for uniform cooking. For extra flavor, simmer chicken broth with fresh herbs before adding noodles. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, and freeze without noodles for longer storage.
