Ingredients
2 tbsp
Mirage Margarine
1 1/2 cup
onions, diced
1 1/2 cup
celery, diced
1 1/2 cup
carrots, sliced 1/4" thick on a diagonal
3 tsp
garlic cloves, minced
2
bay leaves, dried
1 1/2 tsp
black pepper, freshly ground
1 1/2 tsp
salt
1 1/4 tsp
dried thyme
1 tsp
dried oregano
1 tsp
dried sage
1 tsp
dried rosemary
1 tsp
dried basil
1 lb.
chicken thighs or breasts, boneless and skinless
8 cups
chicken broth, low sodium
3 tbsp
lemon juice, freshly squeezed
2 cups
wide egg noodles, cooked and rinsed under cold water
optional garnish
fresh parsley
Directions
In a large stock pot or dutch oven, melt the Mirage Margarine over medium high heat. Add the diced onion, celery and sliced carrots.
Sauté until crisp-tender; 3 to 5 minutes. Lower heat to medium. Add in minced garlic, bay leaves, black pepper, salt, dried thyme, oregano, sage, rosemary and basil. Sauté until garlic is fragrant; about 2 minutes.
Add the chicken and broth to the pot.
Bring to a boil. Immediately reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes or until chicken is just cooked through. Carefully remove chicken from the pot. Set aside until cool enough to handle. Cut into bite-sized pieces.
Stir in the lemon juice. Add the chicken and any juices that may have run out, placing them both back into the pot.
Add in the cooked wide egg noodles into the soup at this point (or into individual bowls) and heat until chicken is warmed through; about 3 minutes. Turn off heat. Serve immediately garnished with fresh parsley.
Baker’s Tips:
- Rotisserie chicken or leftover chicken may be used. Proceed with recipe and add the cooked chicken when the recipe states adding the chicken back into the soup.
- Different pasta may be used instead of the wide egg noodles. Try rotini, fettucine, or even rice.
- Noodles may be added to individual bowls or into the soup at the very end.
