Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 cup onion diced
  • 2 carrots cut into half moons
  • 2 ribs celery diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 - 3 sprigs fresh thynme
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 8 cups low sodium chicken broth
  • 4 cups cooked cubed chicken
  • 6 ounces egg noodles
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Instructions
 

  • Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions, carrots, and celery and cook for about 5 minutes, until softened.
  • Stir in the garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
  • Add the chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Add the cooked chicken and egg noodles and simmer for about 10 minutes, until the noodles are tender.
  • Whisk together the flour and ½ cup of water, then whisk in the heavy cream. Slowly stir the mixture into the soup and simmer for 2–3 minutes, until slightly thickened.
  • Add the peas and cook for 1–2 minutes, until heated through. Remove from the heat, rest for 5 minutes, garnish with parsley, and serve.

Notes

Chef Jenn's Tips

  • This is a great way to use up leftover roasted or rotisserie chicken.
  • If you’re not going to eat all the soup right away, boil the noodles separately in a pot of salted water. Then, just add noodles to the portions you’re serving.
  • Package the noodles separately from the soup so the noodles don’t keep absorbing the soup liquid.
  • Feel free to add other veggies like corn or green beans to suit your taste.
