Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie or boiled)
- 1 cup pasta (fusilli or egg noodles)
- 1 medium onion (chopped)
- 2 carrots (diced)
- 2 celery stalks (chopped)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup milk or cream
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp flour
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- Salt to taste
- Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Step 1: Sauté the Vegetables
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for about 5–7 minutes until the vegetables become soft and fragrant. Add minced garlic and sauté for another minute.
Step 2: Create the Base
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well. Cook for 1–2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste. Gradually pour in the chicken broth while stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
Step 3: Add Chicken and Seasoning
Add the shredded chicken into the pot. Season with thyme, black pepper, and salt. Stir everything together and let it simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
Step 4: Cook the Pasta
Add the pasta directly into the soup and cook according to package instructions (usually 8–10 minutes) until tender.

Presentation Tips
Serve the soup hot in a deep bowl, garnished with parsley or a light sprinkle of dried herbs. Pair it with warm bread or soft rolls (like in the image) to make it a complete and comforting meal.
