Servings 8
Ingredients
- 1 stick butter
- 1 onion diced
- 2 celery stalks chopped
- 2 carrots chopped
- 1 sweet potato diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon store-bought garlic & herb seasoning
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 6 cups chicken bone broth
- 1 1/2 pounds chicken breast
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 2 cups egg noodles
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, carrots, and sweet potato. Sauté for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
- Add the minced garlic and garlic & herb seasoning. Cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
- Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well. Cook for 2–3 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
- Slowly whisk in the chicken bone broth until smooth. Add the chicken breasts and bay leaves. Bring to a gentle boil, then cook for 10–15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Remove the chicken from the pot, shred it with two forks, and return it to the soup.
- Stir in the heavy whipping cream and let the soup simmer for 5–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until creamy and slightly thickened.
- Add the egg noodles and cook for 7–10 minutes, or until tender.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove the bay leaves, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve warm.

Notes
Noodles will soak up broth as the soup sits. For the best leftovers, cook noodles separately and add them to each bowl when serving, or stir in extra broth when reheating.
Bone broth adds extra flavor, but regular chicken broth works too.
For a quicker option, swap the chicken breasts for shredded rotisserie chicken and stir it in near the end.
