On a cold, dreary day, there's no dish more soothing than a steaming bowl of chicken soup. In this one-pot version, we've poached the chicken in the savoury broth to intensify the chicken flavour and added a touch of cream for a velvety, rich consistency.

Ingredients
Method
In Dutch oven or large heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat oil over medium heat; cook onion, carrot, celery, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 8 minutes.Add broth and chicken; bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 2 minutes. Stir in noodles; cover and simmer until chicken is no longer pink inside and noodles are al dente, about 9 minutes.
Remove chicken breasts to cutting board. Using 2 forks, shred into bite-size pieces.
In small bowl, whisk together cream, flour and 1 cup water until smooth. Whisk into soup; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in chicken and peas; simmer for 1 minute. Stir in parsley.
Tip from The Test Kitchen: Read the package instructions when buying the egg noodles. You'll want noodles that take about 12 minutes to cook so that they're done at the same time as the chicken.
