Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts

- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 2 carrots, chopped
- 8 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups egg noodles

Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until fragrant and translucent, about 5 minutes.

- Pour in the chicken broth and add the thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through.
- Add the egg noodles to the pot and cook for an additional 7-10 minutes, until tender. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs or crackers if desired.
Tips and Variations
