Preparing the Fresh Vegetables and Chicken

The secret to a healthy and delicious chicken noodle soup is plenty of colorful vegetables and perfectly shredded lean chicken breast. Dice your carrots, celery, and onion easily and quickly with the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper, ensuring uniform cubes for even cooking. For shredding tender, poached chicken with minimal effort and tidy results, reach for the Chicken Shredder Tool Twist for Kitchen—it creates the perfect texture for soup without making a mess.

Building Big Flavor Without Salt

Skip the store-bought broths loaded with sodium by simmering your own fragrant base. Utilize fresh garlic, bay leaf, peppercorns, and a generous handful of chopped herbs like parsley, thyme, and dill. Cooking everything in one sturdy Bamboo Cutting Boards for Kitchen set helps organize your workspace as you prep the aromatics, making flavor-building a breeze.

Cooking and Assembling the Soup

Once your vegetables are soft and the broth is aromatic, toss in your favorite noodles and let them cook until just tender. The right saucepan matters for gentle simmering and even heat—reach for the SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch for fuss-free cleanup and excellent temperature control. Add the shredded chicken last to keep it juicy, and let everything meld for a few more minutes.

Ladle your soup into bowls and garnish with extra fresh herbs. For lunch on-the-go or optimal meal-prepping, transfer portions into the Bentgo Salad Container – 54 oz Bowl, Khaki Green—its airtight lid keeps your soup spill-free and fresh.

Ingredients

– 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 2 large carrots, diced
– 2 celery stalks, diced
– 1 medium onion, diced
– 3 garlic cloves, minced
– 2 bay leaves
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or 2 sprigs fresh)
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– ½ cup chopped fresh parsley, divided
– 8 cups low-sodium chicken broth (or homemade unsalted broth)
– 2 cups wide egg noodles, whole wheat if desired
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– Optional: fresh dill, extra black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Dice your carrots, celery, and onion using the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper for speed and precision. Mince the garlic.
  2. In a large pot over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add onion, carrot, and celery, and cook until just softened, about 5–7 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add chicken breasts, bay leaves, thyme, black pepper, and 7 cups of low-sodium broth. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 15–20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.

  5. Stir in noodles and increase to a low boil. Cook until noodles are al dente, about 7 minutes. Add the shredded chicken back into the pot with half the parsley (and optional fresh dill).
  6. Taste and adjust pepper if needed. If a thinner soup is desired, add the remaining broth and heat through.
