Gluten-free chicken noodle soup with hearty vegetables, shredded chicken, and gluten-free egg noodles. The chicken cooks right in the broth for extra flavor. About 10 minutes of prep and an hour on the stove.

Instructions
Heat a large dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil and let heat for 1-2 minutes.
Add 1 cup diced yellow onion, ½ cup sliced carrots, and ½ cup sliced celery. Cook for 5-6 minutes, until the vegetables are softened and the onion is translucent.
Add 3 cloves garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring so it doesn't burn.
Add 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon dried thyme, ½ teaspoon dried oregano, 3 dried bay leaves, and 8 cups gluten-free chicken stock. Stir to combine.
Add 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts to the pot, making sure they're fully submerged. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a simmer for 20-30 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Remove the chicken from the pot and shred with two forks. Add the shredded chicken back to the soup.
Add 8 oz gluten-free egg noodles and simmer for 6-10 minutes, until al dente. Start checking at 5 minutes since timing varies by brand.
Stir in ¼ cup fresh parsley and remove the bay leaves. Taste and adjust salt if needed. Serve immediately.

Notes
Noodle timing – Gluten-free noodles vary by brand. Start checking at 5 minutes and pull them when they're just al dente. They keep cooking in the hot broth. I used Jovial gluten-free egg noodles in this recipe.
Rotisserie chicken – Check that it's gluten-free first. Skip the poaching step, let the soup simmer 20 minutes, then add shredded chicken when you add the noodles.
