Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
Aromatic Base
- 1 tablespoon grass fed butter unsalted
- 1 medium yellow onion chopped
- 2 garlic cloves minced
Broth & Seasoning
- 3 (16.9) ounces chicken bone broth
- 32 ounces water
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon
Veggies
- 6-8 celery stalks diced
- 6-8 large carrots peeled and diced
Chicken
- 2-3 large chicken breasts pasture raised
Noodles
- 4 cups egg noodles dry
Instructions
- In a large heavy-bottom pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and sauté 3–4 minutes until soft, then add garlic and cook until fragrant, 30–45 seconds.
- Pour in the chicken bone broth + water. Stir in salt, pepper, oregano, and bouillon. Add the celery and carrots.
- Turn heat up just until the liquid comes to a gentle boil, then lower heat to a simmer.
- In a smaller pot, cover chicken with water, bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to simmer for 15–18 min. Rest 5 minutes, shred with forks, and add back to the soup.
- Let the soup gently simmer 40–60 more minutes so the broth develops richness and sweetness from the carrots and celery. Longer simmer = deeper flavor.
- While the soup simmers, boil egg noodles in a separate pot according to package directions. Drain.
- Add shredded chicken to the simmering broth, then adjust seasoning to taste. Serve by placing noodles in bowls first, then ladling hot soup and chicken over them.
