Sauté the Vegetables: In a Dutch oven or a large soup pot, start by melting some butter over medium heat. Once it’s nice and melted, toss in the chopped onion and sauté it until it’s soft and golden brown. This should take about 7 to 10 minutes.
Add Garlic: Next, mix in some finely chopped garlic and let it sauté for just a minute, until you can smell that yummy fragrance.
Mix in the Chicken and Veggies: Now it’s time to add in your shredded cooked chicken, along with some cubed carrots and chopped celery. Sprinkle in your favorite poultry seasoning and pour in a generous amount of homemade chicken broth. Bring this delicious mixture to a boil!
Cook the Pasta: Once boiling, reduce the heat a bit and let it simmer for about 5-10 minutes. Then, add some egg pasta and season everything with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for another 10 minutes or so, until the pasta is just the way you like it.
Finish and Serve: Before you dive in, stir in some finely chopped parsley for a fresh burst of flavor. Serve it up hot, and enjoy this hearty chicken noodle soup with a warm piece of crusty bread!

Notes
Use Homemade Broth: If possible, make your own chicken broth. It enhances the flavor and is free from preservatives.
Customize the Vegetables: Feel free to add additional vegetables such as peas or corn for extra nutrition and flavor.
Store Leftovers Properly: This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days or frozen for later use. Keep in mind that pasta can absorb the broth, so you may want to cook it separately if you plan on saving leftovers.
