Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 large carrots, peeled and sliced thinly
  • 3 celery stalks, sliced thinly
  • 3/4 cup chopped onion
  • 49 ounces chicken broth (about 6 cups)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/3 cup cold water
  • 1 lb package egg noodles
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 teaspoon thyme

Method
 

  1. Heat 1 tbs. olive oil in a large soup pot over medium high heat. Add the carrots, celery, and onion. Saute until tender crisp, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Add chicken broth to the pot and simmer for about 20 minutes.
  3. Dissolve the cornstarch in the cold water. Add this mixture to the simmering broth. Bring to a rolling boil.
  4. Add the egg noodles and cook until mostly tender, checking every few minutes to prevent mushiness. Noodles will continue to soften off the heat.
  5. Stir in the butter and thyme until melted and combined.
  6. Add 2 cups of cooked shredded chicken (from a rotisserie chicken or pre-cooked) and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Stir in chopped fresh parsley just before serving. The broth should be slightly thickened, enough to coat everything but not runny.

Notes

- For extra flavor, use homemade chicken stock if possible.
- Don't overcook the noodles; they will continue to soften in the hot broth.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle kick.
