Chicken Noodle Soup

Ingredients

• 1/2 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 1 small carrot, thinly sliced
• 2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
• 2 sprigs fresh thyme
• 2 sprigs flat-leaf parsley
• 6 cups chicken broth, homemade or low-sodium canned
• 1/2 cup water
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1/3 pound egg noodles (preferably wide ones)
• 1 1/4 cups shredded cooked chicken (meat from about one breast)
• 1 tablespoon whole flat-leaf parsley leaves
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill fronds

Directions

Put the onion, carrots, celery, thyme, parsley, chicken broth, and water in a medium pot. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and bring to a simmer over medium high heat. Simmer until the vegetables are almost tender, about 5 minutes.

Add the noodles and cook until tender, 5 to 8 minutes (depending upon the size of the noodles). Add the chicken, warm through, and then adjust the seasoning if necessary with salt and pepper. Serve garnished with parsley and dill.
