Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large stock pot over medium -medium high heat. Once it becomes bubbly and fragrant, add the celery, carrots, onion poultry seasoning, and salt. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5-10 minutes.
- Pour 8 cups of the broth and heavy cream into the vegetables, then add the noodles and chicken and submerge them in the liquid. Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce heat to low and allow soup to simmer for 8-10 minutes or until the noodles are al dente.
- While the soup simmers, mix the cornstarch and water until the cornstarch is completely dissolved.
- Pour the cornstarch mixture into the soup slowly while stirring continuously. Once it is all combined, let it simmer an additional 2-3 minutes or until it starts to thicken. Stir in additional broth if you want the soup to be thinner.(see notes)
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot!
Notes
- There are two options on adding the noodles. First is adding them as directed. The benefit to this is that they cook in the broth to make a more flavorful noodle. The downside is that if you have leftovers they get soggier in the fridge as they sit. You may have to add more broth as they continue to soak up liquid to keep the soup soupy. This is personal preference. My kids love it when this soup is more hearty and less brothy.
- The alternative is to cook the noodles separately and add them to each bowl as it is served. The pro for this is that if you have leftovers you can store the soup and noodles separately which means they stay al dente and don't get mushy. The con is that they aren't quite as flavorful. If you use this method, you may want to reduce the broth by up to 2 cups since you aren't cooking the pasta in the liquid.
- How to Store:
