- 3 medium carrots (thinly sliced)
- 2 large celery stalks (chopped)
- 2 large garlic cloves (minced)
Liquid and Seasonings:
- 8 cups (1.9 liters) lower-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 cups (170 grams) uncooked wide egg noodles
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
- Warm olive oil in a spacious Dutch oven over medium-high temperature, creating a sizzling environment for aromatics.
- Incorporate finely chopped onion, carrots, celery, and minced garlic, sautéing for approximately 8 minutes until vegetables reach a tender, translucent state.

- Once boiling, reduce heat to medium and allow the mixture to gently simmer for 6 minutes, melding flavors and developing depth.
- Carefully fold uncooked egg noodles into the bubbling liquid, ensuring even distribution.
- Lower heat to medium-low, allowing noodles to cook and soften for roughly 6 minutes until they reach perfect al dente texture.

Notes
- Swap rotisserie chicken for leftover roasted turkey during holiday seasons for a festive twist.
- Choose wide egg noodles for extra heartiness, or use gluten-free noodles to make the recipe celiac-friendly.
- Enhance soup’s flavor by adding a splash of white wine or a squeeze of lemon juice before serving for brightness.
- Prep vegetables in advance and store in the refrigerator to cut down on cooking time during busy weeknights.
