Ingredients

PREP TIME: 10 minutes COOK TIME: 30 minutes

1 tablespoon unsalted butter – or olive oil 1 cup sliced carrots ½ cup chopped celery 1 tablespoon minced garlic 4 (14.5-ounce) cans full-sodium chicken broth – or chicken stock 1 (14.5-ounce) can vegetable broth 2 chicken breasts seasoned to taste, cooked and chopped – Use this Oven Baked Chicken recipe, I usually use boneless skinless chicken breasts, but chicken thighs also work. You can also buy a package of cooked and cubed chicken or use a rotisserie chicken. 1 teaspoon dried basil – or 3-4 tablespoons chopped fresh basil ½ teaspoon dried oregano – or 1-1½ teaspoons chopped fresh oregano salt and black pepper to taste 1½ cups medium egg noodles – Egg noodles are my favorite to use in chicken noodle soup, but you can also use an equal amount of linguine, fettuccine, tagliatelle, or rice noodles for a gluten-free choice.
