Ingredients

• 3 cups Cooked chicken or turkey, shredded
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Yellow onion, diced
• 2 medium Carrots, peeled and diced
• 2 stalks Celery, diced
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
• 6 cups Chicken or turkey stock
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 8 ounces Egg noodles
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 Bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft and fragrant.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, being careful not to let it burn.

Step 4

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat them evenly. Cook for 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken or turkey stock, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 6

Add the shredded chicken or turkey, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine, then reduce the heat to low and allow the soup to simmer for 10-15 minutes.

Step 7

Meanwhile, bring a separate pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 8

When the soup has finished simmering, remove the bay leaf and gradually stir in the heavy cream. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 9

Add the cooked egg noodles to the soup and stir gently to combine.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy!
