Preparation

What You Need

2 tbsp (30 ml) vegetable oil
12 oz (375 g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs or
chicken breasts, cut into 3/4 inch (2 cm) pieces
1 medium onion, chopped
1 carrot, coarsely grated
1 tsp (5 ml) dried oregano
1/2 cup (125 ml) fresh basil, chopped
4 cups (1 l) chicken stock
2 tbsp (10 ml) Dijon mustard
3 oz (90 g) spaghettini (about 1 cup /250 mL), broken
2 cups (500 ml) sliced celery
2 tbsp (30 ml) all purpose flour
2 1/2 cups (625 ml) Milk
1 tsp (5 ml) salt
1/2 tsp (2 ml) pepper

Instructions

In a large saucepan, heat half of the oil over medium heat; brown chicken in batches, adding more oil as necessary to prevent sticking. Transfer to bowl and set aside. Add remaining oil to pan; sauté onion, carrot, basil and oregano for about 5 min or until onion is softened.

Add chicken stock and mustard; bring to boil. Stir in spaghettini and celery and return to boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for about 10 min or until noodles are almost tender. Add chicken along with any accumulated juices; cook for about 10 min longer or until noodles are tender.

Whisk flour into milk and gradually whisk into soup; simmer, stirring, for about 3 min or until slightly thickened. Add salt and pepper.


Tips

For the Adventurous: Drizzle each serving with a teaspoon (5 mL) or pesto sauce.

    I suggest adding more than the recommended 1 carrot.
