Servings: 6 -8 Serves
Calories: 349kcal
Ingredients
- 120 g onion 1 large
- 120 g carrot 2 medium
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 3 tablespoon flour
- 4 cups stock 1L
- 2 cups milk (5oomL
- 350 g chicken
- 250 g uncooked pasta
- 150 g frozen peas 1.5 Cups
Instructions
- Dice the onions and carrot
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan
- Add the onion and carrot and saute for approx 5 mins
- Add the flour and cook this off for 2 minutes, ensuring the veggies all get coates
- Add the stock and milk, bring the mix up to a simmer
- Dice the chicken (1cm cubes) Add the chicken and poach at a low simmer for 10 mins
- Add the uncooked pasta and cook for a few minutes less than the suggested cooking time (this will vary depending on the size and shape of pasta you are using)
- Add the frozen peas, Check the consistency of the soup at this stage, if it has thickened more than you would like thin down with a little more stock. Cook for 1-2 minutes to ensure the peas are heated through
- Season with salt and pepper if needed
- Serve
Notes
- The butter can be substituted for oil if you prefer
- Celery can be added at the same stage as the carrots and onion (I dislike celery though)
- Sliced button mushrooms are nice in this as well, I often add a handful of them after the onions and carrot have had a few minutes to sauté but before the flour has been added
- Personally I have not made this recipe with anything other than cows milk, but it should also work with alternative milks
