All the classic flavor of chicken noodle soup just with more vegetables. This is comfort in a bowl, and the extra veggies feel extra good too.

Prep & Cook Instructions

  1. HEAT oil in a Dutch oven on medium heat. Add carrots, onion, celery, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt and pepper; cook and stir 8 to 10 minutes or until vegetables soften.
  2. STIR in stock and lemon juice. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 10 minutes. Stir in noodles. Reduce heat to low; simmer 5 minutes. Add chicken; simmer 5 minutes until chicken is heated through. Season to taste with salt and pepper and garnish with parsley, if desired.

Tips

  • For a thicker, stew-like soup, increase uncooked noodles to 2 cups and adjust with additional stock, as desired.
