Ingredients
- •Olive oil(15g)
Regular (not extra-virgin) olive oil for high-heat cooking. EVOO for dressings.
- •Chicken Thigh, Bone-In, Skin-On
Boneless skinless thighs. Fattier than breast but more forgiving to cook.
- •Yellow Onion
- •Garlic(120g)
- •Carrots
- •Celery
- •Flour, All-Purpose, White(80g)
- •Parsley, Fresh(30g)

Instructions
- 1Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sear the chicken thighs on both sides until golden (about 3 minutes each side).
- 2Add the onion, garlic, carrots, celery. Sauté for another 5 minutes until the onion becomes transparent and the celery begins to soften.
- 3Add flour, parsley, crushed bullion cube (or vegetable stock powder), and salt. Mix all of the ingredients through and allow to cook for a further 3 minutes.
- 4Pour in broth and mix everything together. Increase heat and bring to a boil for about 4 minutes (the broth will begin to thicken). Reduce heat, partially cover the pot with a lid, and allow to simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
- 5Transfer chicken to a plate and shred the meat; discard the bones.
- 6Add the chicken back into the soup along with the milk and noodles (or pasta). Bring to a boil and allow to cook for 6-8 minutes until the noodles are JUST beginning to soften.
- 7Taste test the soup and add extra salt or pepper or stock powder if desired to suit your tastes.
- 8Add the peas and continue to cook until the peas are cooked and the soup has thickened.
- 9Serve warm.
