Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs

8 cups low-sodium chicken broth

2 medium carrots, diced

2 celery stalks, diced

1 medium onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 cups egg noodles

1 cup green peas (fresh or frozen)

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Juice of 1 lemon (optional, for added brightness)

Instructions
 

Sauté Vegetables: In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, diced carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are softened and the onions are translucent.

    Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

      Brown Chicken: Push the vegetables to the side of the pot and add the chicken thighs. Let the chicken brown on each side for about 3-4 minutes. This adds extra flavor to the soup.

        Combine Ingredients: Pour in the chicken broth, and add the dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

          Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

            Remove Chicken: Carefully remove the chicken thighs from the pot and place them on a cutting board. Let them cool for a few minutes, then shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

              Cook Noodles: Add the egg noodles and green peas to the simmering broth. Cook according to the package instructions, typically around 6-8 minutes, or until noodles are tender.

                Combine Everything: Stir the shredded chicken back into the pot. If you like, add the lemon juice for an extra layer of flavor. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

                  Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and enjoy the warmth of your homemade cozy chicken noodle soup!
