2RibsCelery, diced into small pieces
1SmallOnion, diced into small pieces
3ClovesGarlic, minced
4TbsFlour
Salt and Pepper to taste
8CupsChicken Broth
2CupsHeavy Cream
2TbsThyme
1teaspoonGarlic Powder
8OzEgg Noodles
2-2.5CupsRotisserie Chicken, shredded
Instructions
In a large pot (with a lid) melt the butter and add the chopped carrots, celery and onion. Season it with salt and pepper and sauté the vegetables until soft.
Add the chopped garlic and whisk in the flour for about 3 minutes. It will look like the vegetables are coated in a thick paste.
Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and heavy cream. I like to warm the cream in the microwave for about 15 seconds before adding it to the soup so it easily incorporates.
Season the soup with salt, pepper, garlic powder and thyme. Raise the heat and bring it to a boil then add the egg noodles. Stir the egg noodles into the broth and turn the heat down to a simmer. Place the lid on top and let the noodles cook at the way through. This should take about 8-10 minutes.
Stir in the shredded rotisserie chicken and re-season the soup if needed. Serve warm and enjoy!
