Cooking Instructions
In a large soup pot, combine 6 cups broth, 5 cups water and ½ tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil then add chicken thighs and boil uncovered for 20 minutes, skimming off impurities that rise to the top.
Heat 2 tablespoon olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until softened (5 min), then increase heat to med/high and add grated carrots and chopped celery, sauté for 5-7 min until soft and golden, then transfer to soup pot.
Remove chicken thighs from the pot and let rest until cool enough to handle, then shred chicken, discarding bones and fat. Return shredded chicken to the pot.
Add 2 cups pasta, sliced carrots, and corn to the soup pot and continue cooking for 15 minutes at a low boil until pasta is at desired softness.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoon butter, whisk in ⅓ cup flour and cook for 1-2 min until barely turning golden. Ladle 1 cup of hot broth from the soup pot into the flour mixture, whisking continually until well blended, then whisk in ½ cup heavy cream and transfer to the soup pot, stirring until well blended.
Season soup with 1 teaspoon Mrs. Dash and salt to taste if needed. Add 3 tablespoon dill, return to a boil, and turn off the heat. Enjoy!
