Ingredients

2 Tablespoons olive oil
12 ounces carrots peeled and cut into bite-size pieces
1 cup celery sliced or chopped, about 3-4 stalks
1 large onion diced
2 garlic whole cloves
1 ¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
64 ounces chicken stock regular or low sodium
½ lemon zested
1 bunch poultry blend rosemary, thyme, and oregano (a few sprigs tied together of each)
2 bay leaves dried
6 ounces wide egg noodles
2 ½ cups chicken cooked, chopped or shredded

Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large pot or dutch oven (5-quart or larger) over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 6-8 minutes or until the vegetables begin to soften. Stir in the salt and pepper and cook for 2 minutes.
Next, add the chicken broth, poultry blend, bay leaves, and lemon. Stir together and increase the heat to medium-high. Bring the soup to a boil for 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the egg noodles and cook for 10 minutes until the noodles are tender. Then, add the shredded chicken and let cook for 3-5 minutes. Taste the soup and add more seasoning if desired. Serve warm.
Cover and store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. To reheat, pour into a pot over medium heat and until warmed through. Add more chicken broth to leftovers if it's too thick as the noodles will soak up the liquid.
