In a large pot or Dutch oven, place the chicken breasts and cover them with about 8 cups of water. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside to cool slightly. Shred the chicken using two forks.
While the chicken is cooling, strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the cooked vegetables. Discard the vegetables or set them aside if you prefer to add them back later.
Return the strained broth to the pot. Add the shredded chicken and bring the broth to a gentle simmer. Stir in the uncooked egg noodles.
Cook the noodles according to the package directions, usually about 8-10 minutes, or until tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. If desired, add fresh herbs like parsley or dill. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
Ladle the chicken noodle soup into bowls and serve hot. Garnish with extra fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy!
It was a good soup, but a little basic. I think it could benefit from more herbs and spices.
This recipe is a true classic. Simple, flavorful, and perfect for a cold day. The chicken was perfectly cooked.
Perfect! The recipe is easy to follow, and the soup tastes amazing. My whole family loved it. Thanks for sharing!
The soup was ok. I think the broth could be more flavorful, but it was easy to make.
It was good, but not amazing. The broth was a little bland, I might need to add more seasoning next time.
