Ingredients
Scale
2 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, diced
2 carrots, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
6 cups chicken broth
2 cups shredded cooked chicken
2 cups egg noodles
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Sauté onion, carrots, celery, and garlic until softened.
Sprinkle in the flour, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
Gradually pour in chicken broth while stirring to avoid lumps.
Add shredded chicken, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle boil.
Stir in egg noodles and cook until tender, about 8-10 minutes.
Reduce heat, pour in heavy cream, and stir until creamy. Adjust seasoning.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
Notes
Use rotisserie chicken for convenience.
Add extra broth if the soup becomes too thick.
Substitute egg noodles with gluten-free pasta for a gluten-free version.
