Chicken Noodle Soup

Ingredients:

* 1/2 medium onion, thinly sliced
* 1 small carrot, thinly sliced
* 2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
* 2 sprigs fresh thyme
* 2 sprigs flat-leaf parsley
* 6 cups chicken broth, homemade or low-sodium canned
* 1/2 cup water
* Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
* 1/3 pound egg or pasta noodles (preferably wide ones)
* 1 1/4 cups shredded cooked chicken (meat from about 1 breast)
* 1 tablespoon whole flat-leaf parsley leaves, and/or 1 tablespoon fresh dill fronds, for garnish

Directions:

Put the onion, carrots, celery, thyme, parsley, chicken broth, and water in a medium pot. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and bring to a simmer over medium high heat. Simmer until the vegetables are almost tender, about 5 minutes.

Add the noodles and cook until tender, 5 to 8 minutes (depending upon the size of the noodles). Add the chicken, warm through.
