Ingredients

Soup Base

  • 1 tablespoon salted butter
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 large carrots, sliced
  • 2 ribs celery, sliced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 1 bay leaf

Pasta

  • 4 ounces spaghetti or linguine

Final Additions

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1½ tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 cups cooked chopped chicken
  • Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Sauté Vegetables: In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and sliced celery. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until the onion is softened and the vegetables begin to release their aromas.
  2. Simmer Broth: Pour in the chicken broth, then stir in the poultry seasoning and add the bay leaf. Cover the pot and allow the soup to simmer gently for 10 minutes, letting the flavors meld.
  3. Cook Pasta: While the soup simmers, cook the spaghetti or linguine according to package directions until al dente. Drain the pasta well and set aside.
  4. Thicken and Add Chicken: In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy whipping cream and cornstarch until smooth. Stir this mixture into the simmering soup along with the chopped cooked chicken. Allow it to simmer for an additional 5 minutes to thicken and heat through.
  5. Complete Soup: Remove the bay leaf from the soup. Stir in the cooked pasta, then season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot.

Notes

  • For a richer soup, substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream.
  • Use leftover roasted or boiled chicken to save time.
  • Poultry seasoning can be substituted with a mix of dried thyme, sage, and marjoram if unavailable.
  • Feel free to add a splash of lemon juice or a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra brightness or heat.
  • To make this soup gluten-free, substitute the pasta with gluten-free noodles.
