Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Cozy Chicken Noodle Soup
  1. In a large pot, pour in about 8 cups of low-sodium chicken broth and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  2. Add the boneless skinless chicken breasts into the simmering broth. Cook them uncovered for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  3. After a few minutes of cooling, shred the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces using two forks or your hands. Return the shredded chicken back to the pot filled with broth.
  4. Toss in the chopped carrots and egg noodles into the pot. Stir well and let everything cook together for about 8-10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender and the carrots are crisp-tender.
  5. Once the noodles are tender, add the minced garlic and fresh thyme to the pot. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant.
  6. Remove the pot from heat and add a generous squeeze of fresh lemon juice, stirring well to balance all the flavors. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
