Ingredients
Scale
- 2 sticks celery (chopped finely)
- 2 medium carrots (peeled & chopped finely)

Instructions
- In a large soup pot, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Sauté celery, carrots, and onion for about 5–7 minutes until softened.
- Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Stir in flour to form a roux and cook for another minute.

- Lower the heat to simmer gently for about 10 minutes to meld flavors.
- Stir in uncooked egg noodles and cover pot slightly open; cook for about 8–10 minutes, stirring halfway through.
- Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the pot and cut into bite-sized pieces before returning it to the soup. Season with salt, pepper, and fresh parsley before serving.
