Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup
Description
The recipe starts with cooking a mirepoix of onion, carrot, and celery in butter until tender, followed by garlic for additional flavor. A mixture of milk and flour is whisked in to create a creamy base without lumps, combined with chicken broth for body. Shredded cooked chicken and fresh thyme provide the main protein and herbal accents.
Wide egg noodles gently simmer in the broth until soft, absorbing flavors while maintaining a tender bite. Finishing with heavy cream, lemon juice, and parsley adds richness balanced by a refreshing citrus note and herbal brightness. The seasoning of kosher salt and black pepper is adjusted to taste throughout.
This soup is well suited for serving warm as a comforting lunch or dinner, offering both protein and carbohydrates in a creamy broth. It pairs well with fresh bread to soak up the sauce and is mild enough to appeal to many palates.
