Ingredients
Scale
- 2 sticks celery, finely chopped
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and finely chopped
- 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 fillets
- 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 cup heavy/whipping cream
- 2 generous cups uncooked egg noodles
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Step 1: Sauté Vegetables Sauté celery, carrots, and onion with butter and olive oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Step 2: Add Garlic and Flour Include the minced garlic and continue cooking for about 30 seconds before blending in the flour. Cook for an additional minute until the mixture is well combined.
- Step 3: Incorporate Liquids and Chicken Pour in the chicken broth, stirring consistently to dissolve the flour. Add the uncooked chicken fillets, Italian seasoning, and cream. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then cover the pot partially with a lid.
- Step 4: Simmer Reduce heat and let the soup simmer gently for about 10 minutes.
- Step 5: Add Noodles Add the uncooked egg noodles and cover the pot again, leaving the lid slightly open, and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent noodles from sticking.
- Step 6: Season and Serve Remove the chicken from the pot to cut into pieces, then return it to the soup. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.
