1 bay leaf

6 ounces egg noodles

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, sautéing for about 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.

      Simmer the Broth: Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle boil. Add the shredded rotisserie chicken, thyme, oregano, and bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

        Cook the Noodles: Remove the bay leaf, then add the egg noodles to the pot. Cook according to package instructions (usually about 6-8 minutes) until al dente.

          Final Touches: Taste the soup and adjust the seasonings if needed. Remove from heat. Serve hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley for a splash of color and flavor.
