Instructions
Cook:
In a large Dutch oven or soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the carrots, celery, onion, and garlic and sauté for 5 minutes, until the vegetables have softened.
Stir in the thyme, parsley, chicken broth, potatoes, salt, and pepper. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. This first step gives the potatoes a head start.
Uncover, stir in the egg noodles and shredded chicken, and bring it back to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender. By then, both the noodles and potatoes will be soft.
Serve:
Remove the bay leaf (if using) and ladle the soup into bowls.
