Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts

6 cups (1.5 liters) low-sodium chicken broth

2 cups water

2 medium carrots, sliced

2 stalks celery, chopped

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp fresh ginger, grated

1 tsp dried thyme

1 bay leaf

1 cup egg noodles

1 cup spinach or kale, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tbsp olive oil

Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from the pot and set aside.

    Sauté Vegetables: In the same pot, add diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional minute.

      Combine Ingredients: Pour in the chicken broth and water. Stir in the thyme and bay leaf and bring the mixture to a simmer.

        Cook the Chicken: Return the seared chicken to the pot. Cover and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.

          Add Noodles: Remove the chicken from the pot, shred it with two forks, and return it to the pot. Stir in the egg noodles and cook for an additional 7-10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.

            Incorporate Greens: Stir in the chopped spinach or kale for the last 2 minutes of cooking. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.

              Serve: Remove the bay leaf before serving. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley.
