Ingredients
Scale
Soup Base
- 6 1/2 cups (1474g) chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons (28g) dry vermouth
- 2 tablespoons (28g) butter
- 1/2 cup (113g) heavy cream
Noodles and Thickening
- 2 cups (113g) egg noodles, uncooked
- 1/3 cup (40g) King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
- 2/3 cup (152g) water
Protein and Seasoning
- 1 cup (142g) diced cooked chicken or turkey
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Vermouth Cream Mixture: In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of the chicken stock with dry vermouth and butter. Bring the mixture to a boil and reduce it until about 1/4 cup remains, creating a syrupy consistency. Stir in the heavy cream and then set the mixture aside.
- Cook the Noodles: In a separate larger saucepan, bring the remaining chicken stock to a boil. Add the uncooked egg noodles, and cook them until tender, approximately 7 to 8 minutes.
- Make the Flour Slurry: While noodles are cooking, mix the unbleached all-purpose flour with water until smooth. Stir this slurry into the boiling noodle and stock mixture to thicken the soup.
- Combine and Heat Through: Allow the soup to boil for an additional 1 to 2 minutes after adding the flour mixture. Then, stir in the reserved vermouth cream mixture and the diced cooked chicken or turkey.
- Season and Garnish: Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve the soup hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley for bright color and flavor.
Notes
- Use cooked chicken or turkey leftovers for convenience and enhanced flavor.
- Adjust the thickness of the soup by varying the amount of flour slurry.
- The dry vermouth adds a subtle depth, but it can be omitted if unavailable.
- Serve with crusty bread for a complete meal.
