Easy Chicken Noodle Soup

Lauren
This easy chicken noodle soup is the perfect 'throw it all in the pot' kind of recipe. Tender chicken, soft veggies, and pasta in a flavour packed broth that somehow feels both comforting and fresh.

Ingredients
  

  • 40 g salted butter ⁣
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion ⁣
  • 1 small leek ⁣
  • 1 carrot ⁣
  • 2 stalks celery ⁣
  • 2 garlic cloves ⁣
  • 2 teaspoon dijon mustard ⁣
  • 1 bouquet garni sachet or use ½ teaspoon dried thyme, ½ teaspoon dried rosemary and ½ teaspoon dried basil - See Notes
  • 2 bay leaves ⁣
  • 350 g chicken ⁣ shredded cooked rotisserie chicken
  • 200 g pasta of choice
  • 2.2 litre chicken stock ⁣ 3 chicken stock cubes
  • 2 tablespoon soy sauce ⁣
  • small handful fresh parsley ⁣ finely chopped

Instructions
 

  • Peel and finely chop 1 carrot ⁣, 1 onion ⁣, 1 small leek ⁣and 2 stalks celery ⁣(dependant on whether you like a finer or chunky soup texture) ⁣
  • Melt 40 g salted butter ⁣in large pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil and cook chopped veg until fully softened ⁣(approx. 10 minutes)
  • Add 2 garlic cloves ⁣(finely chopped) and 2 teaspoon dijon mustard ⁣ - cook for 2 minutes ⁣
  • Add 1 bouquet garni sachet, 2 bay leaves ⁣ and 2.2 litre chicken stock ⁣then simmer on medium heat for 30 minutes
  • After 30 minutes, remove the bay leaves and bouquet Garni sachet and discard them
  • Add 350 g chicken ⁣, 200 g pasta of choice (any pasta will do), 2 tablespoon soy sauce ⁣and small handful fresh parsley ⁣then season to taste ⁣- cook for appropriate amount of time until pasta is just cooked (this paste shape takes less than 5 minutes)
  • Once refrigerated, the soup will thicken up as the pasta absorbs more of the liquid⁣ so you can add more chicken stock to loosen the consistency if preferred

Notes

Bouquet Garni Sachet ⁣- I would recommend using a sachet rather than the dried herbs, as the flecks of dried herbs will aesthetically affect the clear broth of the soup. However, I do add fresh parsley at the end so it's potentially a moot point.
