Instructions

- Add the sliced carrots and celery to the mix. Stir it all up and let it cook for about 5 more minutes until the veggies soften a bit.
- Pour in the chicken broth, and bring it to a simmer. As the broth heats up, think good thoughts and maybe even hum a little tune.
- Once simmering, add in the shredded chicken, thyme, and oregano. Let it bubble away and make your house smell like a cozy restaurant!
- Now, it’s time for the noodles! Toss them in and cook according to the package instructions, usually around 8-10 minutes. Keep an eye on them so they don’t become mushy.
- Once everything is cooked and merged into a symphony of flavors, taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. You’re the chef after all!
- Serve hot in bowls, garnished with fresh parsley if you’re feeling fancy, and enjoy every spoonful of your homemade creation!
There you have it! A comforting dish packed with flavor that’s sure to chase away the cold and brighten your day. Happy cooking!
