Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup

Instructions

1. Dice the onion. Heat butter in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until it begins to soften, 2-3 minutes.
2. While the onion is cooking, slice the carrot and celery ¼-inch thick. Add to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the onion is soft.
3. Stir in the poultry seasoning, flour, salt and pepper to taste, and cook for 1 minute more.
4. Add the broth and bay leaf, turn the heat up to medium-high and bring to a boil. Stir in noodles* and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until noodles are tender (this can vary by brand), approximately 7 minutes.
5. Add chicken and cook 1 minute more or until heated through.
6. Stir in parsley and remove bay leaf before serving.
