Soup Base
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 medium diced onion
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups half and half
Main Ingredients
- 8 ounces dry uncooked egg noodles pasta
- 2 cups cooked chicken, chopped or shredded
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil and parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: In a large pot over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons butter. Once melted, add ½ medium diced onion and 3 cloves minced garlic. Cook until the onions begin to soften, about 3 minutes.
- Add Flour and Seasoning: Sprinkle 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour over the onions. Stir and cook the flour for 2 minutes. Add 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Slowly whisk in 4 cups chicken broth and 2 cups half and half to avoid lumps.
- Cook Pasta: Bring the soup to a boil. Then add 8 ounces of dry egg noodles pasta. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the pasta is al dente, about 8-10 minutes.
- Add Chicken and Cheese: Stir in 2 cups cooked chopped or shredded chicken, ½ cup grated parmesan cheese, and ⅓ cup shredded mozzarella cheese. Cook until the cheese is fully melted and the soup is creamy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Garnish and Serve: Add fresh basil and parsley for garnish. Serve hot for a comforting meal.
Notes
- For a thicker soup, use whole milk instead of half and half.
- Use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken to save time.
- To store, keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Reheat gently on the stove or microwave, adding a splash of broth or milk to loosen if needed.
- Fresh herbs add brightness but are optional if unavailable.
