Number Of Ingredients 17

4 medium skinless pieces of chicken, can be all white meat or mixed
2 slice carrots, thin sliced
1 c chopped onion
1/4 c chopped celery
1/4 c minced parsley
2 c each - chicken broth & water
bay leaf
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp each - season salt & poultry seasoning
2 tsp chicken flavored buillon paste or to taste
2 medium potatoes -peeled and cubed
2 c shell shaped macaroni - cooked and drained - or today i added the macaroni at the end with the chicken and it cooked just fine the last 20 minutes of simmering
4 c milk
1/4 c butter
1/4 c flour
nutmeg to taste

Steps:

  • 1. In a dutch oven, combine chicken, water, chicken stock, onion, carrots, celery, bay leaf, salt & pepper. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low; simmer until chicken is tender.
  • 2. Remove the bay leaf. Now, remove the chicken and cool - debone and cut into small cubes, set aside. Now, add potatoes, bouillon, season salt and poultry seasoning to the broth. Simmer for another 15 minutes. Add the milk, macaroni and chicken and return to simmer.
  • 3. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and continuously stir until mixture begins to brown.
  • 4. Add the butter mixture to the pot and blend well. Simmer on low heat for 20 minutes. Season to taste. Can sprinkle with nutmeg and some extra fresh parsley if desire. When reheating you may want to add a bit more milk or stock to thin it out a bit, as it thickens as it cools. Enjoy this delicious comfort soup...

I'm not a fan of the egg noodles in this recipe. I prefer to use pasta shells.

I followed the recipe exactly but my soup turned out bland. I think I'll add some more salt and pepper next time.
