Soup Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp. butter
- 1 cup carrot matchsticks, roughly chopped
- ½ small onion, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken stock
- ½ tsp. salt
- ¼ tsp. coarse black pepper
- ½ lb. boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 2)
- ¾ cups uncooked fine egg noodles (or other noodles with very short required cooking time)
Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables: Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the carrot and onion, then increase the heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
- Add broth and seasoning: Pour in the low-sodium chicken stock and season with salt and pepper. Increase heat to high and cover the pot, bringing the broth to a boil.
- Cook the chicken: Cut the boneless skinless chicken thighs into ½ inch pieces. Once the broth boils, stir in the chicken pieces. Return to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 1 minute.
- Add the noodles: Increase heat back to high and stir in the uncooked fine egg noodles. When the soup returns to a boil, reduce heat to simmer and cook until the noodles are al dente, about 3 minutes.
- Season to taste and serve: Taste the soup and adjust salt and pepper if needed. Ladle into bowls and enjoy warm.
Notes
- Use low-sodium chicken stock to control the salt level and keep the soup heart-healthy.
- Fine egg noodles are chosen for their quick cooking time, but any short-cooking noodle can be substituted.
- Chicken thighs are preferred for their tenderness and flavor but chicken breast can be used for a leaner option.
- Do not overcook the noodles to avoid mushy texture; follow the 3-minute cooking time closely.
