Ingredients
4 medium carrots, sliced (2 cups)
4 medium stalks celery, sliced (2 cups)
1 medium onion, chopped ( ½ cup)
1 cup uncooked medium egg noodles (2 oz)
1 Refrigerate cut-up cooked chicken. Add enough water to broth to measure 5 cups.
Instructions
1Bring the broth, sliced carrots, celery, and chopped onion to a boil in a large pot or Dutch oven. Lower the heat, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes until the carrots soften.
2Add the egg noodles and cooked chicken to the simmering broth. Turn the heat up to reach a boil again, then reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for 7 to 10 minutes until the noodles are fully cooked.
3Remove the pot from the heat once the noodles are tender. Ladle the hot soup into individual bowls and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
