- 1 TBSP olive oil
- 1 white onion, diced
- 2 ribs of celery, diced
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme

Directions

- Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the thyme, 1 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
- Simmer the soup, stirring occasionally, until chicken is tender, about 45 minutes.
- Transfer the chicken to a plate then use two forks to shred the chicken, discarding any bones and cartilage.
- Return the shredded chicken to the pot then reduce the heat to low and simmer over low heat while you make the pasta.
