1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper
3 cups egg noodles
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (plus more for garnish)

3. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
4. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil.
5. Add shredded chicken, thyme, basil, salt, and pepper. Reduce to a simmer for 15 minutes.

Notes
For deeper flavor, simmer the soup with a parmesan rind and remove before serving.
Always add noodles right before serving to keep them from soaking up all the broth.
Use rotisserie chicken to save time without compromising on flavor.
