Description
A comforting chicken noodle soup loaded with vegetables and creamy goodness.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 Tablespoon Butter
- ½ onion (diced)
- 2 celery stalks (chopped)
- 2 whole carrots (peeled and chopped)
- 2 Cloves Garlic (minced or 2 teaspoons minced garlic)
- ¼ cup All Purpose Flour
- 8 cups chicken broth
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts (roughly 1 pound)
- 2 Bay Leaves
- ¼ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 3 cups Egg noodles
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 1 Tablespoon Chopped Parsley (optional for topping)
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil and butter in a large stock pot or dutch oven over medium high heat.
- Add in the onions, celery and carrots. Sauté over medium high heat for 5-7 minutes until soft.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about a minute until you can smell the garlic.
- Stir in the flour and cook for another minute.
- Pour the chicken broth into the pan. Stir until the flour is completely dissolved.
- Mix in the chicken, bay leaves, thyme leaves, salt and pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a boil. Cover and reduce the heat to a low simmer.
- Cook until the chicken is cooked through (chicken will be completely white when cooked) and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. This generally takes approximately 20-30 minutes depending on the size and quantity of the chicken breasts that you are cooking.
- Remove the chicken, shred and stir it back into the pan.
- Bring the mixture back to a boil. Stir in the egg noodles.
- Cook over medium-high for about 8-10 minutes until the noodles are tender and cooked through.
- Remove the bay leaves and stir in the heavy cream.
- Heat for a few minutes until the cream is heated through.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
