Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter
  • 2 Garlic Cloves, minced
  • 1 Spanish Cooking Onion, finely chopped
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Broth and Herbs

  • 8 cups Chicken Stock
  • 2 Bay Leaves
  • 1/4 cup Dill, finely chopped, plus more for garnish, reserve stems

Vegetables

  • 2 Carrots, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
  • 2 Celery Sticks, cut into 1/2 inch pieces

Pasta & Protein

  • 150 g Dried Egg Noodles
  • 3 cups Shredded Roasted Chicken
  • 1/4 cup Dry Sherry

Instructions

  1. Melt Butter and Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and finely chopped onion, then season with salt and pepper. Cook gently for 5 to 7 minutes until the onion is softened and translucent but not browned.
  2. Simmer Stock with Herbs: Pour in the chicken stock, add the bay leaves and reserved dill stems, and increase the heat to bring the mixture to a rolling boil over high heat.
  3. Cook Vegetables and Noodles: Add the chopped carrots, celery, and dried egg noodles. Reduce the heat to medium-high and cook uncovered for 7 to 10 minutes, or until the noodles are al dente and the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.
  4. Add Chicken and Sherry: Stir in the shredded roasted chicken and dry sherry, then simmer for 1 to 2 minutes just until the chicken is warmed through.
  5. Finish and Season: Remove the bay leaves and herb stems from the pot. Stir in the finely chopped dill, adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste, and garnish with additional dill before serving.

Notes

  • For best flavor, use homemade or good-quality chicken stock.
  • Shredded roasted chicken can be replaced with leftover rotisserie chicken.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, you can reduce the stock slightly before adding noodles.
  • Adjust salt at the end to prevent over-seasoning.
  • Fresh dill added at the end brightens the flavor significantly.
