Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup

Step 1

Sauté the celery, carrots, and onion with the butter & oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes.

Step 2

Stir in the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds.

Step 3

Stir in the flour and cook for about a minute.

Step 4

Pour in the chicken broth and stir until the flour has dissolved. Add in the chicken, Italian seasoning, and cream. Increase the heat to high and bring the soup to a slight boil. Cover the pot with the lid slightly ajar.

Step 5

Reduce the heat so it's simmering gently. Let it cook for 15 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the noodles and cover the pot again (lid slightly ajar) for a further 8-10 minutes. I like to stir it halfway just to ensure the noodles aren't sticking.

Step 7

Take the chicken out of the pot and cut it up, then add it back in again and season the soup with salt & pepper to taste, and stir in the fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
