Start by sautéing the mirepoix (onion, carrots, and celery) in a pot with some olive oil. This aromatic base will add depth and flavor to your soup.

Add the garlic to the pot and sauté until it becomes fragrant. The garlic will enhance the overall taste of the soup.

Next, pour in the chicken stock and add the chicken breasts or thighs, along with the seasonings such as rosemary, thyme, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. These classic herbs and spices will infuse the soup with a rich and comforting aroma.

Bring the soup to a gentle simmer and let it cook until the chicken becomes thoroughly cooked. Once done, remove the chicken from the pot and shred or dice it into bite-sized pieces.

Add the homestyle egg noodles to the pot and cook them until they become tender. These thick-cut noodles will provide a hearty and satisfying texture to the soup.

Taste the soup and season with additional salt and pepper if needed. The seasoning can be adjusted according to your personal preference.

Finally, serve the chicken noodle soup hot and garnish with chopped fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese. The parsley will add a touch of freshness, while the Parmesan will enhance the flavors of the dish.
