Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked shredded or diced chicken (rotisserie)
- 2 ⅓ cups chicken broth (divided use, plus more if you need to thin it out)
- 1 ½ cups diced carrots
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 fresh sprig thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup diced celery
- 1 cup diced onion
- 2 Tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 pound dry wide noodles
- 2 cups milk, (divided use)
- 3 Tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 Tablespoon fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- In a large pot over medium high heat, cook carrots with 1 ½ cup broth, 1 bay leaf, salt, pepper, and dried or fresh thyme until carrots are tender.
- Add into the pot the remaining chicken broth, celery, onion and garlic and let come to a boil.
- Next add the dry wide noodles to the pot and cook for 5 minutes uncovered.
- Then after 5 minutes stir in 1 cup of milk and the frozen peas.
- In a separate pan mix the remaining milk with the all purpose flour over medium heat and slowly whisk the milk and flour together to remove the lumps. Do this for about 3-4 minutes. This is going to be used to thicken the chicken and noodles.
- Add this milk and flour mixture to the pot with the noodles, vegetables and broth.
- Finally add the cooked shredded chicken and let the soup simmer until thickened. Note: if your type of egg noddles soaked up a lot of the liquid, you can add a a bit more chicken broth if you find it is too thick or the noodles didn't have enough liquid to cook in and get soft enough.
- Remove from heat and serve hot topped with fresh chopped parsley (optional).
