Instructions

Over medium heat, melt the butter in a large pot or dutch oven (4-quart or larger). Add the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Sauté for around 7 minutes or until the vegetables are soft.
Add flour, oregano, pepper, thyme, and salt. Stir and cook for 3 minutes.
Add the broth and potato. Give everything a quick stir, then increase the heat to medium-high. Bring the soup to a boil, without stirring, and boil for 3 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, partially cover the pot, and allow to simmer for 25 minutes or until the potatoes have softened. Taste the soup; season if needed.
Add the chicken, milk/half-and-half, and noodles. Cook for 10 minutes until the noodles are tender and the soup has thickened. Once again, taste the soup and add more seasoning as desired. Serve the soup warm.

Recipe Notes

Cover and store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
To reheat, simply pour into a pot over medium heat and cook until warm.
Soup thickens in the refrigerator as the noodles and potatoes soak up the liquid. Feel free to add more chicken broth to the leftovers if it’s too thick.
