In a large pot, melt butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Then add in carrots, celery, thyme, ginger, and salt and sauté for 5 minutes until vegetables are softened.
Add chicken breasts to the pot and cook through – about 7 minutes. Remove from the pot to cool before shredding with two forks.
Add egg noodles and stir. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat to medium-low and let simmer for 15 minutes until noodles are cooked through.
Stir in onion, garlic, oregano, parsley and black pepper. Add shredded chicken back into the pot and simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
Taste the soup and adjust flavors as desired with extra salt or pepper, if needed. Serve warm with a sprinkle of fresh parsley on top, if needed.
