Instructions

Heat the butter/oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, and add onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 7 minutes or until vegetables begin to soften—stirring occasionally.

Add the chicken to the broth, cover with a fitting lid, and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until cooked through about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and into strips or dice into cubes.
Stir the shredded chicken and noodles into the soup, then let it simmer just until the noodles are al dente (about 6 to 8 minutes).
Add more salt and pepper if needed, then stir in the parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes

Chicken Noodle Soup can last in the fridge for a period of 2-4 days so just make sure to store it in an airtight container. Consume the rest of the dish as soon as possible for fresh quality and taste.
To reheat, allow the Chicken Noodle Soup to thaw then reheat in a pan over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally as it cooks to allow heat to go through.
