1. Chicken Noodle Soup Tutorial:
   • The video is a tutorial on making Chicken Noodle Soup by The Stay At Home Chef.
   • The dish is described as the ultimate comfort food, suitable for cold weather or when feeling unwell.
   • The recipe involves seasoning and searing boneless, skinless chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes per side.
   • Classic vegetable additions include onions, celery, carrots, with optional frozen peas, garlic, and ginger.
   • The cooking process includes sautéing veggies in butter, adding chicken broth, and seasoning with salt, pepper, thyme, and oregano. The noodles are added afterward, and the dish is optionally enriched with heavy cream.
2. Vegetable Preparation:
   • The vegetables used are 1 medium onion, 2 large carrots (sliced), and 2-3 ribs of celery (sliced).
   • Additionally, 1 tablespoon each of minced garlic and minced ginger are incorporated for flavor.
   • The vegetables are sautéed in 2 tablespoons of butter for 5-7 minutes until tender.
3. Chicken and Broth Preparation:
   • Chicken breasts are seasoned, seared, and set aside while vegetables are cooked.
   • After sautéing vegetables, 8 cups of chicken broth are added, and the seared chicken breasts are returned to the pot.
   • Seasoning includes up to 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme, and 1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano.
   • The mixture is brought to a boil, then simmered for 10-15 minutes until vegetables are tender and chicken is cooked through.
4. Noodle Addition and Chicken Preparation:
   • Noodles (12 ounces of frozen egg noodles in this case) are added based on their specific cooking time, usually during the last part of the simmering process.
   • Chicken breasts are pulled out, chopped or shredded, and returned to the pot. For pre-cooked chicken, it is added and heated through.
   • Optional additions include frozen peas (2 minutes to unthaw) and chopped parsley for color.
5. Optional Creamy Variation:
   • An indulgent variation involves adding 2 cups of heavy cream to create a creamy chicken noodle soup.
