1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 large onion, diced
2 carrots, peeled and diced
2 stalks celery, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions:
In a large pot, combine chicken broth, water, chicken, onion, carrots, celery, garlic, parsley, and thyme. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables and chicken are cooked through.
Stir in the egg noodles and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.
Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.
