Postup

Begin by chopping all of your ingredients and set aside until ready to use.

To a large deep pot set to medium heat, add the olive oil and butter.Once melted, add the onions, carrots and celery. Cook stirring occasionally, until tender. About 3 minutes.

Next, add the garlic, ginger, fresh thyme, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes and allow to cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Lay the chicken breasts directly on top of the vegetables then add the chicken broth and bay leaves.Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and cook until the chicken is cooked through. About 10-15 minutes.

In the meantime, prepare the egg noodles according to package instructions but reduce the cook time by 2 minutes. Drain and set noodles aside until ready to use.

Gently remove the chicken from the pot and using a hand mixer or two forks begin to chop or shred the chicken.

Return the chicken to the pot, followed by the egg noodles, fresh parsley and lemon juice. Sammy's tips: I recommend starting with 2 tbsp of fresh lemon juice and adding more to taste. Secondly, if you want more broth add an additional cup during this step.

Taste here to see if you need to add additional salt.

Allow the soup to come to a light simmer for 1-2 minutes, just allowing the flavours to combine and to finish cooking the egg noodles.

Serve warm.
