3 celery stalks, chopped

Healthy Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe: Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a big pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the chicken all over with oregano, salt, and pepper before adding it to the saucepan. Cook until brown and well cooked, about 8 minutes per side.

Step 2

Remove from the saucepan and set aside for 10 minutes before cutting into small parts.

Step 3

Add around 2 tbsp chicken stock to the skillet (it should boil quickly! ), then scrape up and golden chicken parts with a wooden spoon. Cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, then add the remaining tablespoon of oil.

Step 4

Heat the oil and add the onion, carrot, and celery. Season with salt and pepper and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften. Cook until the garlic is aromatic, about 1 minute.

Step 5

Pour in the broth and water, then add the bay leaf and thyme. Bring to a steady simmer and leave to cook for 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 6

Increase the heat and bring the sauce to a boil before adding the noodles. Cook for 7 minutes, or until the noodles are soft. Remove the thyme stems and bay leaves, then toss in the greens, lemon juice, and chicken. Ref.
