How to Make Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup

Heat butter and olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5–7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.

Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir until evenly coated. Cook for 1–2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, making sure there are no lumps.

Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat.

Stir in Reames frozen egg noodles and let simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.

Stir in shredded chicken, milk, and half-and-half. Add thyme, rosemary, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat to low and simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Do not let it boil.

Adjust seasonings by tasting and adding more salt and pepper as needed.

Serve warm with crusty bread or crackers.

Recipe Notes for Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup

For thicker soup, increase the flour to 1/3 cup or let the soup simmer longer to reduce. The soup will also thicken as it stands and cools.
If you prefer a richer flavor, substitute chicken broth with chicken stock.
To save time, use rotisserie chicken or leftover roasted chicken.
You can also substitute leftover turkey for the chicken if desired.
