- 8 oz egg noodles
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tsp dried thyme

Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Place the boneless skinless chicken breasts in a large pot and cover with chicken broth. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat and simmer until cooked through (about 20 minutes).
- Shred the Chicken: Remove the cooked chicken from the pot. Let it cool slightly, then shred it into bite-sized pieces using two forks.
- Sauté Vegetables: In the same pot, drizzle olive oil and add minced garlic, sliced carrots, and chopped celery. Sauté for about five minutes until fragrant and tender.
- Combine Everything: Return shredded chicken to the pot along with egg noodles. Pour in more chicken broth if needed, add dried thyme, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook until noodles are tender (approximately eight minutes).
- Add Creaminess: Stir in heavy cream slowly while keeping the heat on low until well combined.
- Serve Up Warm: Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy immediately!
