Fats

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Cooking Steps

  • Sauté the celery, carrots, and onion with the butter & oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes.
  • Stir in the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds.
  • Stir in the flour and cook for about a minute.
  • 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 open.
  • Reduce the heat so it's simmering gently. Let it cook for 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the noodles and cover the pot again (lid slightly open) for a further 8-10 minutes. Stir halfway to ensure the noodles aren't sticking.
  • 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.

Notes

This soup feeds 4-6 depending on portion size. It's best eaten right away as the noodles will soak up the soup; add more chicken broth or cream when reheating. 1.5 pounds chicken breasts generally equals 2 larger ones or 3 smaller ones. Chicken is safe to eat when it's reached an internal temperature of 165F.
