Instructions:

1. Sauté aromatics: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, carrots, and celery (if using). Cook 5–6 minutes until softened.

2. Simmer chicken: Pour in chicken broth, add bay leaves and thyme. Place chicken into the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 20 minutes, until chicken is cooked through.

3. Shred chicken: Remove chicken, shred with two forks, and return to the pot.

4. Cook noodles: Add egg noodles and simmer for 8–10 minutes, until tender.

5. Mix in protein: In a small bowl, whisk Nutraflav pea protein powder with about 1 cup of hot broth from the pot until smooth (this prevents clumping). Slowly stir this mixture back into the soup. Let simmer for 2–3 minutes to fully incorporate.

6. Season: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

Serve: Ladle soup into bowls. Garnish with fresh cilantro and an optional squeeze of lime.
