Instructions
- Cook noodles in salted boiling water until al dente, drain, and set aside.
- In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Sauté diced onions, carrots, and celery until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another minute.
- Add chicken broth to the sautéed vegetables, bring to a simmer. Season with thyme, salt, and pepper. Add shredded chicken and heat through for about 5 minutes.
