# How to Make It:
01 -
In a large pot over medium heat, melt unsalted butter and add celery, carrots, and onion. Cook for approximately 7 minutes, stirring until onions are translucent.
02 -
Incorporate the minced garlic into the pot and sauté, stirring constantly, for 1 minute until fragrant.
03 -
Sprinkle in the all-purpose flour, stirring continuously for 3 minutes to remove any raw taste. Use 30 grams for a thinner consistency, or up to 60 grams for a thicker soup.
04 -
Gradually pour in chicken broth and chicken base, then add black pepper, oregano, thyme, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir to combine thoroughly and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
05 -
Add egg noodles to the simmering broth and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
06 -
Stir in shredded chicken and room temperature heavy whipping cream. Mix well and allow the soup to return to a gentle simmer.
07 -
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with coarse kosher salt as needed, adding in 0.25 teaspoon increments.
08 -
Ladle soup into bowls and garnish each serving with freshly chopped parsley.
# Extra Information:
01 -
To avoid curdling, ensure the cream is at room temperature before adding it to the hot broth.
02 -
Rotisserie chicken or leftover roast chicken can be used for convenience.
