Whether you’re feeling under the weather, need to warm up against the biting cold, or simply in the mood for something nourishing, try the chicken noodle soup. Not only does it keep you full, but it is also easy enough for beginners to follow. Egg noodles (or any pasta of your choice), vegetables, and chicken (in this case, chicken thighs) are cooked in a minimally spiced chicken broth to create this classic dish. So, grab your ingredients and equipment and get cooking!
Take a large pot and add butter. Place it on medium heat to melt the butter. Once it melts, add the onions and carrots and sautè till the onions turn translucent and carrots begin to soften. It can take about 5 to 6 minutes.

Add the broth
Add the garlic, bay leaves and thyme and cook for another minute, or until the mix turns aromatic. Now, add the chicken stock and give a mix. Bring the soup to a simmer (small bubbles should break on the surface). Taste test and add the salt and pepper, as per your preference.

Cook the chicken thighs
Add the chicken thighs to the soup. Ensure they’re fully submerged in the broth. Now, bring the mix to a low simmer and partially cover the pot, allowing steam to escape from a small gap. Occasionally stir till the chicken is cooked through and tender. Transfer the chicken to a plate.

Add the noodles
Add the noodles to the simmering soup. If the broth reduces too much when cooking chicken, add a splash of water and lower the heat to medium-low. Now, let the noodles simmer in the soup until they turn tender. Check the cook time on the package.

Shred the chicken and add
While the noodles cook, shred or dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Return the shredded chicken to the pot and give a final stir. Do a taste test, and adjust the seasoning if needed. Turn off the heat, garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
