Directions

Bring chicken broth to a boil with the bay leaves.

Add noodles and simmer for 20 minutes. Stir often.

Chop parsley, thyme, black pepper, onions, celery and carrots.

Add chopped herbs to pot and simmer for 10 minutes or until done.

Meanwhile, melt butter in a skillet. Add the flour and cook for 1 to 2 minutes.

Add cream to the noodle mixture. Bring back to a good simmer. Add the flour mixture; cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes.

Add the chicken and sherry (if using). Discard bay leaves.

Stir to incorporate, heat through and serve.
