Ingredients
Scale
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie, leftover, or cooked separately)
8 oz egg noodles
2 carrots, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
1 onion, chopped
4 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Sauté the Vegetables: In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery, and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
Make the Roux: Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir constantly for 1 minute to cook the flour.
Add Broth: Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Stir continuously until the soup begins to thicken.
Cook the Noodles: Add the egg noodles to the pot and cook according to package directions, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Add Chicken and Milk: Stir in the shredded chicken and milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Simmer: Lower the heat and let the soup simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until it is heated through and the flavors are well combined.
Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot.
Notes
You can use rotisserie chicken or leftover cooked chicken to save time.
For a thicker soup, you can add more flour when making the roux.
Feel free to substitute the egg noodles with any pasta you prefer.
