Ingredients
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tsp Italian seasoning
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup dry white wine (or chicken broth substitute)
2 tbsp butter
1 yellow onion, diced
2 carrots, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp hot sauce
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
6 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 chicken bouillon cube
1 bay leaf
6 oz wide homestyle egg noodles
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried parsley
1/4 tsp mustard powder
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp celery salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Pat chicken dry and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Heat olive oil in a large pot and sear the chicken for 3–4 minutes per side until golden. Remove and let rest before shredding.
- Deglaze the pot with white wine, scraping up browned bits. Let it reduce by half.
- Add butter, onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5–6 minutes.
- Stir in garlic, soy sauce, hot sauce, and all dried seasonings. Sprinkle in flour and cook for 2 minutes to remove raw flour taste.
- Gradually pour in chicken broth and heavy cream while stirring. Add bouillon cube and bay leaf. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Return shredded chicken to the pot, cover partially, and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook egg noodles in a separate pot of salted boiling water. Drain and set aside.
- Remove bay leaf. Add noodles to individual serving bowls and ladle hot soup over them. Garnish with parsley if desired.
Notes
Store soup and noodles separately to avoid sogginess.
Use rotisserie chicken for a quicker version.
Substitute wine with chicken broth if preferred.
Soup can be frozen without noodles for up to 3 months.
To thicken more, use a cornstarch slurry at the end.
