Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 ½ cups chopped onion (1 large)
2 cloves garlic (sliced)
½ pound carrots (peeled and sliced into 2-inch chunks)
3 stalks celery (pick off and reserve the leaves for garnish) (sliced into 2-inch chunks (1 cup))
1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts (cut into 2-inch chunks)
5 cups low-sodium chicken broth
¼ teaspoon ground turmeric (optional, but makes a beautiful golden broth)
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
3 round slices of fresh lemon (seeds removed)
1 small Parmesan rind (optional)
8 ounces dried fettuccine or egg noodles (broken into large pieces)
¼ cup chopped fresh dill or parsley
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese to taste

Steps:

  • Put the butter and oil in a large pot over medium heat. When the butter is melted, add the onion, garlic, carrots and celery. Cook 5 minutes, stirring, or until the onion is softened.
