Ingredients
  

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 medium carrots, sliced into rounds

2 celery stalks, sliced

4 cups low-sodium chicken broth

2 cups water

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 teaspoons dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

1 bay leaf

Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

4 ounces egg noodles (or your favorite pasta)

2 large eggs

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnishing

Instructions
 

Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced onion. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and softened. Next, stir in the minced garlic, sliced carrots, and sliced celery. Continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften and develop flavour.

    Add Liquid and Chicken: Pour in the chicken broth and water, followed by the chicken breasts, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and the bay leaf. Season with a pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked all the way through.

      Cook the Noodles: While the chicken simmers, prepare the egg noodles in a separate pot according to the package instructions. Once al dente, drain the noodles and set aside.

        Make the Egg Ribbons: In a small bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the fresh lemon juice. Slowly drizzle the beaten egg into the simmering soup while stirring gently with a spoon or whisk. This technique will create beautiful, silky ribbons of egg throughout the soup.

          Shred the Chicken: After 20 minutes, remove the chicken breasts from the pot and let them cool for a few minutes. Use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Return the shredded chicken to the soup pot, stirring well to combine.

            Combine and Season: Gently fold the cooked egg noodles into the soup. Stir to incorporate everything, then taste. Adjust seasoning by adding more salt and pepper as needed. Don’t forget to remove the bay leaf before serving.

              Garnish and Serve: Ladle the warm soup into bowls. For a delightful finishing touch, garnish each serving with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley. Enjoy your comforting bowl of chicken noodle soup with silky egg ribbons!
