Method
Step 1: Cook Vegetables
- Heat olive oil and sauté onion, carrots, celery, and garlic until soft and fragrant for a rich homemade soup flavor.

Step 2: Add Broth
- Pour chicken broth into the pot and stir in thyme, parsley, salt, pepper, and bay leaf evenly together.

Step 3: Simmer Soup
- Let the soup simmer gently for fifteen minutes so the vegetables become tender, and flavors blend beautifully together.

Step 4: Add Chicken
- Mix shredded chicken into the soup and cook for five minutes until heated completely through and flavorful.

Step 5: Cook Noodles
- Add egg noodles and cook until tender while stirring occasionally to prevent sticking inside the soup pot.

Step 6: Finish and Serve
- Remove bay leaf, add lemon juice, and serve warm with fresh parsley or crackers for extra comforting flavor.

Notes
For the best flavor, simmer the broth slowly and add noodles just before serving to keep them tender.
