Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 3 celery stalks, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 8 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken breast
  • 1 cup egg noodles
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for thickening)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
  3. Stir in the dried thyme and rosemary. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk the flour with 1/2 cup of cold water until smooth to create a slurry. Slowly whisk the slurry into the simmering broth. Continue to stir until the soup thickens slightly.
  6. Add the shredded chicken and egg noodles. Cook according to the noodle package directions, usually about 6 to 8 minutes, until the noodles are tender.
  7. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream. Heat through gently, but do not let the soup boil after adding the cream.
  8. Season generously with salt and pepper to your preference.
  9. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. This recipe is great for meal planning ahead of time.

Notes

  • For an even richer flavor, use homemade chicken broth instead of store-bought.
  • If you want to skip the flour, you can thicken the soup by blending about 1 cup of the cooked vegetables and broth, then stirring the puree back into the pot.
  • This soup freezes well, but add the heavy cream only after reheating to prevent separation.
  • If you are looking for a lighter option, consider exploring gluten-free meal delivery services for alternative noodle choices.
