CopyCat Cracker Barrel Chicken Noodle Soup

Ingredients

1 pound Boneless, Skinless, Chicken Breasts, or skinless chicken thighs
2 cups Egg Noodles,
2 medium Carrots, peeled and diced
2 stalks Celery, diced
1 medium Onion, diced
6 cups Chicken Broth,
2 tablespoons Butter
1 teaspoon Salt, to taste
1 teaspoon thyme, dried
1/2 teaspoon Pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons Parsley, for garnish, optional.

Directions

In a large pot, simmer the chicken in chicken broth until fully cooked. Remove the chicken, shred it into bite-sized pieces, and set aside.

In the same pot, melt butter and sauté diced onions, carrots, and celery until they soften and become fragrant.

Pour in the chicken broth and add salt, pepper, and thyme. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Stir in the egg noodles and let them cook in the simmering broth until tender.

Add the shredded chicken back to the pot and let the soup simmer for a few minutes to meld the flavors together.

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with crackers or crusty bread.
