Ingredients
- 2 sticks celery, chopped finely
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and 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 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 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
Instructions
1. In a large soup pot, sauté celery, carrots, and onion in butter and olive oil over medium-high heat for 5–7 minutes until softened.
2. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly.
4. Pour in the chicken broth, stirring well until the flour dissolves completely.
5. Add chicken breasts, Italian seasoning, and cream. Increase heat to high and bring to a gentle boil. Partially cover the pot with a lid.
6. Reduce heat to low and let simmer gently for 10 minutes.
7. Stir in the egg noodles and cover the pot again with the lid slightly open. Cook for another 8–10 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent noodles from sticking.
8. Remove chicken from the pot, chop into bite-sized pieces, and return to the soup.
9. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in fresh parsley just before serving.
10. Serve hot and enjoy immediately.
Notes
This soup is best enjoyed fresh, as the noodles can absorb the broth over time.
If reheating leftovers, add extra chicken broth or cream to loosen the consistency.
Chicken thighs can be substituted for breasts if preferred.
Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F for safe consumption.
