Instructions
Prep the Ingredients
- Gather all your ingredients and chop the onions, shred the carrots, and chop the celery. Dice the precooked chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Cook the Vegetables
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are softened.
Add Flour and Thyme
- Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to create a roux. Add dried thyme and continue stirring for about 2 minutes to cook the flour.
Incorporate Broth and Cream
- Gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Add the heavy cream (or half and half) and whisk until the mixture is well combined.
Season and Simmer
- Introduce bay leaves, dried parsley, and black pepper to the pot. Allow the soup to simmer for 20-25 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Cook Reames Homestyle Egg Noodles
- Add Reames Homestyle Egg Noodles to the simmering soup. Cook according to package instructions until the noodles are tender but still have a delightful bite.
Add Chicken and Sherry
- Stir in the precooked chicken pieces and sherry (if using). Let the soup simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes, allowing all the ingredients to harmonize.
Serve and Enjoy
- Ladle the creamy Reames Chicken Noodle Soup into bowls, and savor the rich aroma and velvety texture. Pair with a crusty bread or crackers for an extra treat.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use rotisserie chicken instead of precooked chicken.
- You can also add other vegetables to the soup, such as peas, corn, or potatoes.
- If you don’t have heavy cream or half and half, you can use milk instead.
- Serve the soup with crusty bread for a satisfying meal.
