Why we love this recipe
I am firmly on the side of those folks who think chicken soup is the cure for whatever ails you. From the flu to a cranky mood, chicken soup can fix it…or at least make you feel a lot better.
And if regular chicken noodle soup is good for whatever’s wrong, creamy chicken soup is, well, magical. Especially if the creamy chicken soup doesn’t have any actual cream in it. Good, good for you comfort food…you’re feeling better already, right? Me too!
How to make this recipe
You want to start with some nice chicken broth – as always, I like the Pacific and Imagine boxed brands.
Simmer some pasta, carrots and celery in the broth until everything is nice and tender, about 15 minutes, and then stir in some shredded cooked chicken.
In a separate pan, melt a little butter and whisk in some flour and then some milk. Once it is bubbling and creamy, add it to the chicken and pasta broth.
Stir it all around and voila! Perfect, creamy, comforting chicken noodle soup. I like to sprinkle a little chopped parsley on top for a pretty hint of green.
A bowl or two of this and everything feels a whole lot better.
