Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat.

  3. Pour in the chicken broth and allow the soup to simmer gently for about 20 minutes.
  4. Mix the cornstarch and cold water together until smooth to make a slurry.
Cooking
  1. Add the cornstarch mixture to the simmering broth, stir well, and bring the soup to a boil.
  2. Add the egg noodles and cook until they are almost tender.
  3. Stir in the butter, thyme, and parsley until the butter has melted.
  4. Add the shredded chicken and continue heating until warmed through.

  6. Stir in the green onions just before serving.

Notes

Add the egg noodles toward the end of cooking to help prevent them from becoming too soft.
