Method

1. Soften the onion, carrots and celery in the oil in a large pot over medium heat 6 minutes, adding the garlic and thyme for the last minute.
2. Pour in the broth, cover and bring it to a boil over high heat. Halve the chicken breasts lengthwise, lay them in and simmer gently 3 minutes, then drop in the broken spaghetti and simmer 8-9 minutes more, until the pasta is tender and the chicken reads 165°F (74°C).
3. Lift the chicken out, shred it with two forks and return it. Stir in the parsley and grate a little Parmesan over each bowl.
