Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add chopped carrots, onions, celery, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 5 minutes until soft.
  2. Toss in the garlic and olive oil, stirring continuously until fragrant.
  3. Sprinkle in the flour, stirring for 2-3 minutes to cook it slightly and avoid a raw flour taste.
  4. Gradually pour in the chicken broth, whisking continuously for 3-5 minutes until thickened.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then add the Sazon, bay leaves, and chicken breasts. Cover the pot halfway and boil for about 10-15 minutes until the chicken’s internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  6. Once cooked, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Remove the chicken, shred it, and return it to the pot.
  7. Stir in the heavy cream and bring back to a gentle boil. Let simmer for 5-10 minutes to thicken a bit.
  8. Add salt and pepper to taste, followed by the chopped parsley. Give it a good stir.
  9. Finally, bring the pot back to a boil and add the egg noodles, cooking them according to package instructions.

Notes

For a quicker option, shred rotisserie chicken instead of cooking it from scratch. You can also let the soup simmer longer or add a slurry of cornstarch and water to achieve your desired consistency. Adding leafy greens just before serving enhances nutrition and presentation.
