Ingredients

Scale

For the Soup Base

  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Butter
  • 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
  • 2 stalks Celery, sliced thinly
  • 2 medium Carrots, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced

For the Broth

  • 8 cups Low sodium chicken broth
  • 4 sprigs Thyme
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 pound Skinless, bone-in chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper

For the Noodles

  • 8 ounces Carba-nada noodles

For Garnishing

  • 1/4 cup Chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 wedges Lemon for serving

Instructions

  1. Sauté the vegetables. Heat the olive oil and butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add diced onions, sliced celery, and carrots; cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until softened. Stir in minced garlic and cook for about 20 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Add broth and herbs. Pour in the chicken broth while scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Add thyme sprigs and bay leaves. Increase heat to high and bring to a gentle simmer.
  3. Cook the chicken. Add the skinless, bone-in chicken breasts along with salt and pepper. Stir gently, then cover and simmer over medium heat for 25 to 30 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
  4. Remove and shred chicken. Transfer the chicken breasts to a cutting board and let cool briefly. Shred the chicken meat, discarding bones.
  5. Add the noodles and combine. For carba-nada noodles, add them now to the simmering broth and cook until tender, approximately 6 to 7 minutes. Stir shredded chicken back into the soup and simmer for an additional 2 minutes.
  6. Finalize and serve. Remove the soup from heat, discard thyme sprigs and bay leaves. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Ladle soup into bowls, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve with lemon wedges for a bright finish.

Notes

  • Use leftover rotisserie chicken to skip the simmering step and save time.
  • Adjust noodle cooking time based on the type of noodles used.
  • For a richer broth, consider adding a splash of cream or milk.
  • Fresh herbs can be substituted with dried herbs if fresh are unavailable.
  • Low sodium broth helps control overall salt content, adjust seasoning accordingly.
