- Servings
- 6 servings, about 2 cups each
- Course
- Soup and Stew
Ingredients
- 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts (or use diced shiitake mushrooms or extra-firm tofu)
- 48 ounces low sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 carrots thinly sliced
- 2 stalks celery thinly sliced
- 1/2 red onion finely diced
- 1/4 teaspoon herbes de Provence (or use 1/4 tsp. dried thyme)
- 2 cups fine egg noodles (or use 1 cup alphabet noodles)
- 3 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
-
In a large stockpot over medium-high heat, combine the chicken, broth, carrots, celery, onions, and herbs. Bring it to a boil, then lower the heat to medium and simmer it until the chicken turns white, about 10 minutes. (For a meatless version, stir in diced shiitake mushrooms or tofu with the noodles.)
-
With a slotted spoon, remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside to cool, keeping the broth at a low boil. After the chicken cools slightly, shred or dice it into bite-size pieces.
-
While the chicken is cooling, add the noodles to the boiling broth. Cook them for 8 minutes, or until the noodles are tender. Stir in the chicken and parsley.
