Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Broth

  • 2 tender chicken breasts
  • 6 cups chicken broth

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 2 medium carrots, finely chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, finely chopped
  • 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

Noodles and Seasonings

  • 2 cups egg noodles
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Finishing Touches

  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Veggies: Start by finely chopping the carrots, celery, onion, and garlic. Sauté these fresh vegetables in olive oil over medium heat until they are soft and aromatic, creating the flavorful foundation of the soup.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the pot with the sautéed vegetables and pour in the chicken broth. Simmer gently until the chicken is fully cooked and tender, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
  3. Shred the Chicken: Remove the chicken breasts from the pot and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot to continue infusing the soup with rich protein goodness.
  4. Add the Noodles and Seasonings: Stir in the egg noodles, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), salt, and black pepper. Cook until the noodles are tender but still hold their shape, about 7 to 9 minutes.
  5. Thicken Slightly and Finish: Sprinkle in a small amount of natural gelling agent to give the broth a subtle, velvety texture. Stir in the freshly chopped parsley, then taste and adjust seasoning if needed before serving hot.

Notes

  • Use homemade broth if possible to add layers of depth and freshness to the soup.
  • Don’t overcook noodles; cook until just tender to prevent mushiness when reheating leftovers.
  • Shred chicken while warm for easier shredding and even distribution in the soup.
  • Add vegetables in stages; denser veggies first and softer ones later for balanced texture.
  • Season gradually, adjusting salt and pepper near the end to keep flavors bright.
