A comforting and creamy chicken noodle soup that’s perfect for cozy nights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 14 g unsalted butter
  • 100 g chopped yellow onion
  • 120 g sliced or diced carrots
  • 120 g sliced or diced celery
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 31 g all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 teaspoon fine salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves or 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano or 1 teaspoon fresh oregano
  • 1.92 liters reduced sodium chicken broth
  • 280 g peeled and diced potato
  • 250 g shredded or chopped cooked chicken
  • 240 ml half-and-half or whole milk
  • 112–150 g uncooked wide egg noodles or other dry pasta
  • Fresh thyme leaves (garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, celery, and minced garlic. Sauté, stirring occasionally, for approximately 5 minutes until vegetables are softened.
  2. Add the flour, salt, black pepper, thyme, and oregano to the softened vegetables. Stir well and cook for 2 minutes to form a roux and release the flavors.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and add the diced potato. Stir briefly to combine. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil without stirring. Boil for 3 minutes.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium-low, partially cover the pot, and simmer for 25 minutes until potatoes are tender. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  5. Stir in the cooked chicken, half-and-half or whole milk, and uncooked noodles. Continue cooking for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until noodles are al dente and the soup has thickened. Adjust seasoning as preferred.
  6. Ladle into bowls, garnish with fresh thyme leaves if desired, and serve warm.
  7. Cool completely before transferring leftovers to an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 1 week. Reheat gently on the stove over medium heat, adding more chicken broth if the soup is too thick.
