• 1 1/2 cups finely chopped celery (about 6 small celery sticks)
• 1 large onion, diced
• 1 T minced garlic
• 2 tsp dried thyme leaves
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp pepper
• 1/3 C chopped fresh parsley
• 2 large bay leaves
• 1 (13.25 oz) box whole wheat rotini noodles

Directions:

In a large pot, saute onion, carrots, and celery in olive oil until softened, adding garlic halfway through. Add the thyme, oregano, salt, pepper, and parsley. Cook about 1 minute. Add the chicken and broth. Stir. Add the bay leaves and simmer.

Meanwhile, cook the noodles; drain. When the veggies in the soup are tender, remove the bay leaves. Serve the soup in bowls over noodles.
