RECIPE OF THE MONTH 🍽️

How to Make Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup

  • Prepare chicken: Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Pound chicken to an even thickness using a meat mallet then dab chicken dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Brown chicken: Sear chicken in pot until browned on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
  • Saute vegetables: Heat remaining 1/2 Tbsp olive oil in pot, Add onion, carrot and celery and saute 5 minutes, then add garlic and saute 1 minute longer.
  • Add broth and seasonings: Add chicken broth, thyme, bay leaves and season with salt and pepper to taste. Add chicken breasts and bring soup to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • Simmer soup: Reduce heat to low, cover with lid and allow soup to cook until chicken has cooked through, about 5 to 10 minutes longer.
  • Make bechamel sauce: Meanwhile in a medium saucepan melt butter over medium heat, add flour and cook, stirring constantly, 2 to 3 minutes. While whisking slowly add in milk and whisk vigorously to smooth lumps.
  • Whisk in cream and bring mixture to a simmer, stirring constantly (scrape bottom edges as well).
  • Shred chicken: Remove cooked chicken from soup and allow to rest for 5 minutes, then shred into small bite size pieces.
  • Cook noodles: Meanwhile add noodles to soup, cover and cook until tender, about 6 to 10 minutes (or according to time on package).
  • Add white sauce and shredded chicken to soup: Off heat pour milk into soup and return shredded chicken. Stir in parsley.
