Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 sticks celery (chopped finely)
  • 2 medium carrots (peeled & chopped finely)
  • 1/2 medium onion (chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1.5 pounds uncooked chicken breasts (boneless skinless)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup heavy/whipping cream
  • 2 generous cups uncooked egg noodles
  • Salt & pepper (to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Equipment

  • large soup pot
  • cutting board
  • knife

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Sauté the celery, carrots, and onion with the butter & oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes.
  2. Stir in the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds.
  3. Stir in the flour and cook for about a minute.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and stir until the flour has dissolved. Add in the chicken, Italian seasoning, and cream. Increase the heat to high and bring the soup to a slight boil. Cover the pot with the lid slightly open.
  5. Reduce the heat so it's simmering gently. Let it cook for 10 minutes.
  6. Stir in the noodles and cover the pot again (lid slightly open) for a further 8-10 minutes. I like to stir it halfway just to ensure the noodles aren't sticking.
  7. Take the chicken out of the pot and cut it up, then add it back in again and season the soup with salt & pepper to taste, and stir in the fresh parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes

For freezing, omit noodles as they become mushy when thawed. Soup thickens when cooled - add extra broth when reheating. Don't overcook noodles - they should be tender but still have bite. Use fresh herbs for best flavor.
