# How To Make It:
01 - Place chicken thighs or breasts in a large pot. Add water, bay leaves, peppercorns, and 2 teaspoons sea salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface.
02 - Transfer chicken to a plate and allow to cool slightly. Remove and discard bay leaves and peppercorns from the broth.
03 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet or the same pot over medium heat. Add diced onion, sliced carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5 to 6 minutes until vegetables soften. Add minced garlic, dried thyme, and oregano; cook for an additional minute.
04 - Return sautéed vegetables to the pot with broth. Shred or dice the cooled chicken, discarding skin and bones. Add chicken back to the pot.
05 - Bring the soup to a gentle boil. Stir in egg noodles and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until tender.
06 - Stir in chopped fresh parsley. Adjust seasoning with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
07 - Ladle soup into bowls, garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot.
