Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon (14g) unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup (100g) chopped yellow onion
  • 1 cup (120g) sliced or diced carrots
  • 1 cup (120g) sliced or diced celery
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup (31g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 8 cups (1.92 liters) chicken broth
  • 1 medium potato, peeled and diced
  • 2 cups (about 250g) shredded or chopped cooked chicken
  • 1 cup (240ml) half-and-half or whole milk
  • 3–4 cups (about 112–150g) uncooked wide egg noodles
  • Optional for garnish: fresh thyme leaves

Instructions

1. Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat.

2. Add onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Stir occasionally and cook for 5 minutes until vegetables are softened.

3. Stir in flour, salt, pepper, thyme, and oregano. Cook briefly to remove raw flour taste.

4. Add chicken broth and diced potato. Stir to combine.

5. Increase heat to medium-high and bring soup to a boil. Boil for 3 minutes without stirring.

6. Reduce heat and partially cover the pot. Simmer for 25 minutes or until potatoes are tender.

7. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

8. Add cooked chicken, half-and-half or milk, and egg noodles to the pot.

9. Simmer for 10 minutes, or until noodles are tender.

10. Serve warm, garnished with fresh thyme if desired.

11. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

12. Reheat in a pot over medium heat until warmed through.

Notes

Use rotisserie or leftover chicken to save time.

Whole milk can be used in place of half-and-half for a lighter version.

For extra flavor, add a splash of lemon juice before serving.

This soup thickens as it sits—add extra broth or milk when reheating if needed.
