Ingredients

Scale

Soup Base

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 cup onion (diced)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups chicken broth (low sodium)
  • 2 cups heavy cream

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded, rotisserie or poached)
  • 6 oz fettuccine (broken into thirds)
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper (or to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)

Garnish

  • 2 tbsp parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base: In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook for 4–5 minutes until softened, providing a fragrant and flavorful base.
  2. Add garlic and make roux: Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Sprinkle in the flour and stir constantly for 1–2 minutes to form a roux, which will help thicken the soup.
  3. Incorporate liquids: Gradually whisk in chicken broth to avoid lumps, then add heavy cream. Bring mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently to combine all ingredients smoothly.
  4. Add chicken and pasta: Add shredded chicken and broken fettuccine pieces. Reduce heat and simmer for 10–12 minutes, or until the pasta is tender and the flavors meld together.
  5. Finish with cheese and seasoning: Stir in freshly grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for another 2–3 minutes until the cheese is fully melted, enriching the soup’s flavor and texture.
  6. Serve: Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley. Add extra Parmesan if desired for an added cheesy touch. Serve hot for the best taste experience.

Notes

  • Use low sodium chicken broth to better control the saltiness of the soup.
  • Rotisserie chicken is a convenient option but poached chicken works just as well.
  • Break fettuccine into smaller pieces to make it easier to eat as a soup.
  • You can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter version, but the soup will be less creamy.
  • For a thicker soup, slightly increase the amount of flour or reduce the broth.
  • Freshly grated Parmesan melts better than pre-grated cheese, enhancing the texture.
