How to Make Hearty Chicken Noodles

  2. Add 2 cups chopped carrots, 2 cups chopped celery, and 1 cup chopped onion to the pot.
  3. Stir well to combine the vegetables with the roux.
  4. Pour in 8 cups chicken broth and add 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken (approximately 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts).
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
