8 cups chicken broth
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced

2 carrots, diced
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried parsley
½ teaspoon dried thyme

For the Noodles and Corn

12 ounces wide egg noodles
2 cups sweet corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup heavy cream or whole milk (optional for a creamier version)

Garnish

Fresh parsley, chopped
Extra black pepper

Equipment Needed

Large Dutch oven or soup pot
Cutting board
Sharp knife
Wooden spoon
Measuring cups and spoons

Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables

Wash and chop the onion, celery, and carrots into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves and set everything aside.

These vegetables create the flavorful foundation of the dish and add a subtle sweetness that complements the chicken and corn.

Step 2: Cook the Chicken

Place the chicken in a large pot and pour in the chicken broth. Add the diced onion, celery, carrots, garlic, salt, pepper, parsley, and thyme.

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

As the chicken cooks, the broth absorbs all the flavors from the vegetables and seasonings, creating a rich and savory base.
