Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
- 3 celery stalks, sliced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 6 cups chicken broth (low-sodium preferred)

- 2 cups egg noodles (uncooked)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Step 1: Sauté the Vegetables
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened and fragrant. - Step 2: Add Herbs and Spices
Stir in the dried thyme, rosemary, and paprika. Cook for another minute to release the flavors. - Step 3: Pour in the Broth
Add the chicken broth to the pot and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10 minutes. - Step 4: Cook the Noodles
Add the uncooked egg noodles to the pot and cook according to the package instructions (usually 8-10 minutes) until tender. - Step 5: Add Chicken and Cream
Stir in the shredded chicken, heavy cream, and whole milk. Simmer for another 5 minutes, ensuring the soup doesn’t boil (to prevent curdling). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
