Instructions

In a large stockpot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add diced onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until vegetables are tender, about 3–4 minutes.
Stir in garlic and thyme, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute, then stir in apple cider vinegar or lemon juice to deglaze the pot.
Pour in chicken stock and add bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
Stir in shredded rotisserie chicken and egg noodles. Cook for 10–12 minutes, or until noodles are tender.
Stir in heavy cream, frozen peas, and parsley. Heat through for 1–2 minutes, then adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra parsley if desired.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, omit the chicken and use vegetable broth. Add more veggies like corn or mushrooms for texture.

For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños.

Use gluten-free pasta or rice noodles for a gluten-free option, and substitute gluten-free flour if needed.

For dairy-free, use coconut cream or a dairy-free cream substitute instead of heavy cream.
