Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced into rounds
• 2 medium celery stalks, sliced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 0.3333 cup all-purpose flour
• 6 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup whole milk
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the diced onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Step 4

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well, cooking for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 5

Slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 6

Reduce to a simmer and add the milk and heavy cream, stirring to combine.

Step 7

Stir in the dried thyme, dried parsley, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Allow the soup to simmer for 10 minutes.

Step 8

Add the shredded rotisserie chicken and egg noodles to the pot. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.

Step 9

Remove and discard the bay leaf before serving.

Step 10

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Ladle the soup into bowls and optionally garnish with fresh parsley.
