Prepare Ingredients: Start by ensuring all ingredients are diced, chopped, or cooked as per the measurements mentioned.
Cook Vegetables: In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the diced onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté the vegetables until they’re tender, which usually takes about 8-10 minutes.
Make Roux: Sprinkle the flour over the sautéed vegetables and stir continuously for about 5 minutes until the mixture forms a roux. This helps thicken the soup.
Add Chicken Stock: Gradually pour in the chicken stock while stirring constantly. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Add Chicken And Noodles: Add the cooked diced chicken and dry egg noodles to the pot. Let it simmer for 10-12 minutes until the noodles are cooked but firm.
Season And Garnish: Season the soup with black pepper and salt to taste. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the soup before serving to add a fresh, herbaceous note.
Serve And Enjoy: Ladle the hot Knott’s Berry Farm-inspired chicken noodle soup into bowls. Serve it hot, and savor the comforting flavors and hearty goodness with each spoonful.
