Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup Ingredients: 2 sticks celery, chopped finely 2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped finely 1/2 medium onion, chopped 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 tablespoon butter 3 cloves garlic, minced 1/4 cup flour 4 cups chicken broth 1.5 pounds uncooked chicken breasts 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning 1 cup heavy cream 2 cups uncooked egg noodles Salt and pepper, to taste 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped Directions: In a large soup pot, heat the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the celery, carrots, and onion. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to avoid any raw flour taste. Pour in the chicken broth, stirring until the flour dissolves. Add the chicken breasts, Italian seasoning, and heavy cream. Increase heat to high and bring the soup to a gentle boil. Cover with the lid slightly open. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Add the egg noodles to the pot, stir, and cover again with the lid slightly open. Cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway to prevent noodles from sticking. Remove the chicken, cut it into bite-sized pieces, and return it to the pot. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in fresh parsley and serve immediately.
