Marry Me Chicken Noodle Soup 💍❤️

Ingredients:
3 large carrots, chopped
3 celery stalks, chopped
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 small parsnip, chopped
1/4 cup white wine
1 tbsp butter
8 garlic cloves, minced
6 tbsp tomato paste
6 tsp chicken bouillon
6 cups water
1/2 lb noodle of choice, cooked (I like small thick noodle for this recipe, so l used tubetti rigati)
1 lb chicken (or 2 chicken breasts). You can also use rotisserie chicken if you want to skip cooking the chicken.
1 tbsp avocado oil (for cooking chicken)
4-5 tbsp chopped sun dried tomatoes (I used ones from a jar)
1 tbsp of oil from the sun-dried tomato jar
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp dried parsley
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
3/4 cup cream
handful fresh parsley, chopped
handful of fresh basil, chopped
freshly grated parmesan cheese, to top

Method:
Slice chicken breasts in half and season. I used salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. In a large pot, cook chicken in avocado oil over medium high heat until cooked all the way through (I do about 3-4 min each side). Set aside and chop into bite size pieces.

In a separate pot, boil some water and cook your pasta according to package (al dente). Strain and set aside.

In the same pot you used to cook chicken, heat up 1 tbsp sun dried tomato oil over medium heat. Once your pan is hot, add onions and sauté for a minute or so before adding in the white wine. Deglaze the pan (scrape the bottom and let the wine cook off). Add in celery, carrots, and parsnip. Sprinkle a little salt on the veggies. Saute for about 5 min or until they start to soften.

Create a space in the pan, add the butter and garlic directly into the butter. Cook for another minute, stirring so it does not burn. Add in tomato paste. Stir in and let cook for a few minutes or until the tomato paste starts to turn a slightly darker color before stirring in sun dried tomatoes and chicken bouillon. Add water and seasonings (salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, dried parsley, dried basil, dried oregano, red pepper flakes). Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and let cook for about 10 min. Add heavy cream, cooked pasta, cooked chicken, fresh parsley, fresh basil, and parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
