Marry Me Chicken Noodle Soup❤️💍 INGREDIENTS: -2 large carrots, chopped -3 celery stalks, chopped -1 yellow onion, chopped -1 small parsnip, chopped -8 garlic cloves, minced -6 tsp chicken bouillon -6 cups water -1/2 lb noodle of choice (I like small thick noodle for this recipe so I used tubetti rigati) -1 lb chicken (or 2 chicken breasts). You can also use rotisserie chicken if you want to skip cooking the chicken. -4-5 tbsp chopped sun dried tomatoes (I used ones from a jar) -4 tbsp tomato paste -1 tbsp of oil from the sun dried tomato jar -2 tbsp olive oil -1 tbsp butter -1/2 tsp dried oregano -1 tsp Italian seasoning -1 tsp dried parsley -1/2 tsp dried basil -1 tsp salt -1/2 tsp pepper -1/2 tsp red pepper flakes -3/4 cup cream -handful fresh parsley, chopped -handful of fresh basil, chopped -freshly grated parmesan cheese, to top DIRECTIONS: -Heat up 1 tbsp olive oil in a dutch oven or pot over medium high heat. Once pan is hot, add your chicken breasts (seasoned with a little salt and pepper). -Cook for about 3-4 minutes undisturbed before flipping. Cook the other side for about 3-4 minutes on medium/high heat, before turning heat down to medium/low to let the chicken cook through (maybe about 5 more minutes?) without burning the outside. Once chicken is cooked through (use a meat thermometer or cut into it to check), remove from heat and set aside. Once it cools, you will want to cut into small bite size pieces. You can also cube before cooking if you want it to cook faster. -Heat up 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp sun dried tomato oil in your pot you used to cook the chicken. -Once your pan is hot, sauté the onions for a minute or so before adding in the celery, carrots, and parsnip. Sprinkle a little salt on the veggies to help the reduce moisture. Saute for about 5 minutes or until they start to soften. -Create a space in the pan, add the butter and garlic directly into the butter. Cook for a few more minutes, stirring so garlic doesn’t burn. -Add in tomato paste. Stir in and let cook for a few minutes or until the tomato paste starts to turn a slightly darker color. -Stir in sun dried tomatoes. -Stir in chicken bouillon. -Add water and stir. -Add seasonings (salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, dried parsley, dried basil, dried oregano, red pepper flakes). -Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and let cook for about 10 min. -Add heavy cream -Make sure soup is back to a boil before adding in your pasta. -Cook according to package (al dente). -When pasta has a minute or so left, add in your cubed, cooked chicken. -Add in fresh parsley, fresh basil, and parmesan cheese. #soup #soupseason #soupszn #souprecipe #dinner #dinnerinspo #dinnerideas #dinnerrecipe #recipe #mealinspo #mealidea #cooking #marrymechicken
