Ingredients
  

Soup Base
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 carrots sliced
  • 2 celery stalks chopped
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 3 medium potatoes diced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon parsley
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup egg noodles
  • fresh parsley for garnish

Equipment

  • Large soup pot
  • Wooden Spoon

Method
 

  1. Melt butter in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add diced onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for about 5 minutes until softened.
  2. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 additional minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in chicken broth and add diced potatoes, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper.
  4. Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender.
  5. Stir in shredded chicken and egg noodles. Cook for another 10 minutes until noodles are soft and chicken is heated through.
  6. Lower the heat and slowly stir in heavy cream. Warm gently for 3 minutes without boiling.
  7. Serve hot garnished with fresh parsley alongside crusty bread or crackers.

Notes

For extra creaminess, mash some of the potatoes directly into the soup. Rotisserie chicken works perfectly for quick preparation. This soup tastes even better the next day and freezes well for busy nights.
