Cook Time

Ingredients
- 1 cup carrots, chopped
- 1 cup celery, copped
- 1 cup onion, chopped
- 1-3 cloves garlic
- 1 ½ quarts (48 ounces) chicken broth
- 2 chicken breasts halves (1 pound)
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- ¼ cup white wine
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon
- 3-4 ounces egg noodles
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh chopped parsley or cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sauté chicken in olive oil for approximately 5 minutes per side. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Remove to a plate, cover, and set aside. Add wine to the hot skillet to deglaze the pan for about 1 minute. Be sure to scrape off all the brown bits. Add a few tablespoons water, if necessary, and then pour through a strainer.
- In a six-quart pot, combine chopped carrots, celery, and onion. Smash the garlic, slightly with the flat edge of a large knife, and add to the pot. Cover vegetables with chicken broth, and the strained wine. Add bay leaf and chicken bouillon. Stir, cover, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once the mixture is boiling, remove lid, add noodles, bring back to a full boil, then reduce heat as much as you can while still maintaining the boil, and simmer for 8-10 minutes.
- Shred the chicken, and add it to the soup. Let it simmer for 1 more minute.
- Serve sprinkled with fresh parsley or cilantro.
