Ingredients

  1. Chicken, cooked and shredded
  2. Vegetable broth
  3. Mixed vegetables (e.g., peas, corn, carrots)
  4. Egg noodles
  5. Salt and pepper to taste
  6. Parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, combine vegetable broth and mixed vegetables over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, allowing the vegetables to soften and become tender.
  2. Add the cooked and shredded chicken to the pot, stirring gently to distribute evenly throughout the broth.

  4. Season the soup with salt and pepper, tasting and adjusting the seasoning to your preference. Stir thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the seasonings.
  5. Remove the pot from heat and let the soup rest for 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to meld together and slightly cool.
  6. Ladle the soup into serving bowls, ensuring each portion has a good mix of chicken, vegetables, and noodles.
  7. Garnish each serving with freshly chopped parsley for added color and a touch of fresh herb flavor.
  8. Serve hot and enjoy immediately for the best taste and texture.

Tips

  1. • For maximum flavor, use homemade or high-quality store-bought vegetable broth • Ensure chicken is thoroughly cooked and shredded before adding to the soup • Don't overcook the egg noodles—they should be al dente to maintain the perfect texture • Feel free to customize vegetables based on what's in your refrigerator • For added richness, consider adding a splash of cream or a pat of butter • Chopping parsley just before serving ensures the freshest, most vibrant garnish • This soup keeps well in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, making it perfect for meal prep • For a gluten-free version, substitute egg noodles with rice or gluten-free pasta
