Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups egg noodles
- 1 cup carrots, sliced
- 1 cup celery, sliced
- 1 onion, diced

- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
- Sauté the vegetables: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions, minced garlic, sliced carrots, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add broth: Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle simmer.
- Cook the noodles: Stir in the egg noodles and cook until they are al dente, about 5-7 minutes. Keep stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

- Heat through: Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until everything is heated through.
- Serve: Dish out the soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
Feel free to use store-bought rotisserie chicken for an even quicker option. Watch the noodles to avoid overcooking and adjust seasoning before serving.
