Super Easy Chicken Noodle Soup PT45M https://img3.recipesrun.com/201907/2019/1017/f9/4/473218/300x200x90.jpg A few days ago, my good friend made me an incredible, soothing bowl of homemade chicken noodle soup when I was feeling sick. I swooned at the natural creaminess, intoxicating flavors, and perfectly cooked shredded chicken. She sent me home with a quart of leftovers, but I finished it fast and still craved more of this traditionally healing soup. Although food cooked for you by other people always tastes better, this recipe is quite delicious and worthy of making for yourself, friends, and family, especially as cold season approaches. Make your chicken noodle soup. To make this soup in 30 minutes or less, make the chicken ahead of time or use leftover chicken. Alternatively, it takes about 30 minutes to sear and braise a bone-in, skin-on chicken breast for this soup recipe; instructions for both versions are below. 4 servings Ingredients: Salt and pepper, to taste 1/2 cup fresh parsley, stems removed 3 cups dried egg noodles 1/2 tsp. thyme 1 bay leaf 2 garlic cloves, minced 1/2 leek, cleaned and diced 1 celery stick, diced 1 medium-sized carrot, diced 1 onion, diced 1 tbsp. olive oil 6 cups stock, chicken or vegetable 1 bone-in, skin-on chicken breast or 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded 2 tbsp. unsalted butter
