Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Gather your ingredients.
- 2
Dice onion, mince garlic, peel and dice carrots, dice celery, and mince the fresh parsley. Set the parsley aside.
- 3
Add olive oil, onion, carrots, and celery to a large soup pot and cook on medium heat until vegetables have softened, about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- 4
Add the minced garlic, dried basil, dried thyme, bay leaf, black pepper, and 1 tsp salt to the pot. Stir and cook an additional 5 minutes.
- 5
Add chicken breasts to pot and cover with the chicken broth.
- 6
Cover the pot with a lid, bring it to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for one hour. Make sure the pot continues to simmer for the whole hour. If the heat is turned down too low and it is not bubbling away, the chicken will not shred easily.
- 7
After an hour of simmering, remove the chicken from the pot. Using two forks, pull the meat and shred it. Taste the broth and season with additional salt, if needed. Begin with one teaspoon and add more to your liking. I didn't need to add much salt because there’s already plenty in the bouillon I used to make the broth.
- 8
Add the egg noodles to the pot, turn the heat up to high, and boil the noodles until tender (about 7 minutes). Return the shredded chicken to the pot. Taste and season again with salt if needed (I didn’t need to).
- 9
Finish with fresh parsley and serve hot!
Fresh/Uncured Bulb: This is a fully grown bulb harvested later in the season but pulled straight from the ground without the standard 2–4 week drying process. The cloves are moist and juicy, wrapped in thick, fleshy layers rather than the traditional dry, papery skins.
