Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large carrot peeled and finely chopped
  • 1 rib celery finely chopped
  • 1/2 onion finely chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme removed from stalk
  • 1/4 cup flour optional. I add it to thicken the broth a bit, which I personally prefer.
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 4 cups water
  • 2 1/2 cups egg noodles
  • 1 lb chicken cooked and then chopped or shredded (use rotisserie chicken for an easy shortcut)
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 teaspoons fresh parsley chopped

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or stock pot over medium heat. Add the celery, carrots and onions and sauté until tender and the onions are translucent (about 5 minutes).
  • Add the paprika, thyme and flour and stir to coat the veggies. Pour in the broth and water and increase the heat to high to bring to a boil.
  • Add the noodles and reduce heat back to medium. Let them boil for about 15 minutes. Add in the cooked chicken and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring often.
  • Taste the broth and season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
