Kitchen tools

• LARGE POT: For making the soup.
• KNIFE: For chopping the vegetables. 
• POTATO PEELER: For peeling the carrots. 
• ELECTRIC MIXER: For shredding the chicken. Alternatively you can use forks to shred the chicken following these steps.
• MEASURING SPOONS AND CUPS: For measuring the ingredients. 

Instructions

1. Add olive oil, onions, carrots, and celery in a large pot set on low to medium heat. Cook until soft, about 10-15 minutes.
2. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
3. Add the chicken broth, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil.
4. Add the chicken and boil for 10 minutes, then add the noodles and cook according to the packages. 
5. Turn off the heat, and remove the chicken breasts from the pot. In a medium-sized bowl, add the chicken breast and shred using an electric mixer or using two forks. Place the chicken back into the pot. 
6. Add fresh parsley to the pot, stir, and serve. 

Recipe tips

• Shred the chicken. Shredding the chicken breast gives the soup a perfectly hearty texture and will give you a mouth full of chicken with every bite. The easiest way to shred chicken is with an electric mixer; it will take you no more than 10 seconds to do it! 
• Add water for more broth. Once the soup has been made, and you prefer there to be more broth, add a couple of cups of water. It won’t dilute the flavour that much because the ingredients are so flavourful. 
• Add the parsley to the soup last. If you choose to add some fresh parsley to your chicken noodle soup, add it at the end. This will keep the flavour elevated, whereas adding the parsley too soon will cook out the flavour and not taste as strong.
