Recipe:
Ingredients
• 2 cups dry medium egg noodles
• 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts*
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 1/2 cups chopped yellow onion (1 medium)
• 1 1/3 cups chopped carrots (3 carrots)
• 1 1/3 cups chopped celery (3 stalks)
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 32 ounces low-sodium chicken stock
• 3 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
• 2 bay leaves
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
• 2 1/2 cups milk
• 1/3 cup heavy cream
Directions
• Prepare noodles according to directions listed on package removing 1 to 2 minutes before they are done. Drain and set aside.
• In a large pot, heat 2 Tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, carrot and celery and saute until tender, about 4 - 6 minutes.
* Then add garlic and saute 1 minute longer.
* Add chicken broth, parsley, bay leaves and season with salt and pepper to taste. Add chicken breasts and bring soup to a boil over medium-high heat.
* Reduce heat to medium, cover with lid and allow soup to cook until chicken has cooked through, about 10 - 15 minutes longer
* Remove chicken and allow to rest for 5 minutes, then shred into small bite size pieces.
• Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, add flour and cook, stirring constantly, 1 1/2 minutes. While whisking slowly add in milk and whisk vigorously to smooth lumps (it will take a lot of whisking to smooth since this is a lighter roux - lesser ratio of butter to flour). Whisk in cream and bring mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Pour milk mixture into soup mixture and return chicken to soup along with cooked noodles and stir. Serve warm with fresh bread or crackers if desired.
*If using thicker breasts, slice in half through thickness of breasts so they cook faster and more evenly.
