Easy Chicken Soup Recipe (en-US)
Ingredients: 1–1.5 lb (450–700 g) chicken (bone-in for richer flavor or boneless for quicker), 1 onion (diced), 2–3 carrots (sliced), 2–3 celery stalks (chopped), 3–4 cloves garlic (minced), 8 cups (about 2 L) chicken broth, 1–2 tsp salt (to taste), 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1–2 tsp dried thyme or Italian seasoning, 1 bay leaf (optional), and 2–3 cups egg noodles or cooked rice (optional). Optional add-ins: chopped parsley, lemon juice, or spinach. Steps: 1) In a large pot, sauté onion, carrots, and celery in a little oil or butter for 5–7 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook 30–60 seconds. 2) Add chicken, broth, salt, pepper, thyme/seasoning, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer for 20–30 minutes (boneless) or 35–45 minutes (bone-in) until chicken is cooked through. 3) Remove chicken, shred or chop, then return it to the pot. 4) If using noodles, add them and simmer until tender (or add cooked rice at the end). 5) Taste and adjust seasoning; finish with parsley and a squeeze of lemon if desired.

Quick Tips
For faster flavor, use bone-in chicken or add a splash of soy sauce (small amount) or extra herbs. If the soup tastes flat, adjust salt first. Avoid overcooking noodles—cook separately and stir in at serving time if you want them to stay firm.

Professional-care note (health)
If you have a compromised immune system, are pregnant, or are managing a medical condition, consider food-safety guidance: cook chicken to 165°F/74°C, refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours, and reheat to steaming hot. If symptoms worsen or you have dietary restrictions, consult a qualified clinician or dietitian.
