Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp unsalted butter (15g)
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil (15g)
  • 3 medium celery stalks (120g) diced
  • 3 medium carrots (200g) chopped
  • 1 yellow onion (170g) diced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3 Tbsp cornstarch (24g)
  • 48- oz. chicken stock (6 cups)
  • 2 cups low fat milk I used Fairlife
  • 1/4 cup half & half (60g)
  • 4 oz. uncooked egg noodles
  • 4 cups shredded rotisserie chicken*
  • 2/3 cup frozen green peas (85g)

Instructions

  • To a large Dutch oven or pot, add the butter and melt over medium-high heat. Add the celery, carrots, onions and salt. Cook for about 5 minutes or until vegetables have started to soften.
  • Stir in the cornstarch. Then stir in the chicken stock, milk and half and half; bring to a boil.
  • Add the uncooked noodles then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until noodles are al dente, about 8 minutes. Then stir in the chicken and green peas.
  • Taste and add any additional salt or seasonings to taste. Sprinkle with freshly cracked black pepper to serve!

Notes

*I love the hand-pulled rotisserie breast chicken from Costco! The Shredded Rotisserie Chicken from Target is yummy too!
Store homemade creamy chicken noodle soup in an airtight container in the fridge for 1 week.
To freeze: let soup cool to room temperature. Then, place in freezer safe bags. It will stay good frozen for 3-4 months.
The soup can be reheated on the stovetop or in the microwave. 
To cook in crockpot: add butter to a skillet and set to medium heat. Add the celery, carrots, onion, minced garlic, and a few cracks/shakes of salt and pepper. Cook until the onions are translucent, about 7-8 minutes. Then add the cooked vegetables, milk, half and half, broth, and cornstarch to the Crockpot. Cook on high for 2 hours or low for 5 hours. After it’s cooked, stir in the cooked chicken, noodles and peas. Let cook for 1 more hour (or until noodles are done).
