Cooking Instructions
  1. Gather all ingredients and finely chop the carrots, celery, and onions.
  2. Heat a splash of oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onions until they become translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the chicken breasts along with the chopped carrots and celery. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink, approximately 5-6 minutes.
  4. Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth, then add the minced garlic, dried thyme, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Bring this mixture to a gentle simmer.
  5. Stir in the wide egg noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually about 6-8 minutes, until they are tender.
  6. Serve hot straight from the pot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
