Total Time 55 minutes
Servings 6

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 lb chicken tenders
  • 1 sweet onion diced
  • 4 stalks celery thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
  • 4-5 carrots peeled, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
  • 3 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh basil chopped,
  • 2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley chopped
  • 2-3 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 9 oz fresh egg pasta I use pappardelle that has been broken into smaller pieces ( or dried egg noodles, increase cooking time)
  • 64 ounces chicken bone broth more to desired consistency
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425 F and line a baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper.
    Place the chicken tenders on the baking sheet and season well with salt and pepper.
    Bake for 15-18 minutes until the chicken is golden brown.
  • Remove the chicken from the oven, let cool slightly, then chop the chicken into bite size pieces.
  • In the meantime, in a large stock pot over medium heat, add the avocado oil. Then add the onion, celery, carrots, and season them well with salt.
  • Saute the vegetables until they are very tender, roughly 10 minutes. Then stir in the garlic and cook for 1-2 more minutes.
  • Next, add in the bone broth, basil, parsley, thyme, bay leaves, and the cooked chicken once it is done baking.
  • Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the soup for another 30 minutes.
  • After simmering the soup, stir in the egg pasta and cook for 3 minutes (if using fresh pasta, cook according to package directions for dried pasta) before removing the soup from the heat.
  • Note: the pasta will continue cooking as it sits in the hot broth so be careful not to overcook your noodles before removing the soup from the heat.
  • Remove the bay leaves and thyme sprigs before serving. Enjoy!
