- 2 stalks organic celery, sliced
- 8 ounces egg noodles
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (such as thyme and parsley), finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

1. Prep the Chicken:
- Begin by rinsing the chicken breasts under cold water. Pat them dry with paper towels.

2. Sauté Vegetables:
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

5. Shred the Chicken:
- Remove the chicken breasts from the pot using tongs and place them on a cutting board.
- Use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces and return it to the pot.

6. Add Noodles & Season:
- Add the egg noodles to the pot.
- Stir in the salt and fresh herbs.
- Cover and let the soup simmer for an additional 8-10 minutes until the noodles are cooked to your preference.
