- ¾ cup frozen peas
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken

- Add salt, pepper and dried oregano or thyme.
- Add chicken broth and bring to a boil.
- When soup is boiling add uncooked noodles and cook for approximately 8 minutes.
- Meanwhile in a small saucepan, over medium heat, melt butter and add flour, stir the mixture constantly for about 3 minutes.
- Slowly add the milk to the flour and butter mixture, whisking constantly until the milk comes to a boil.
- Pour the creamy milky mixture into the soup, stir, reduce heat and simmer until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the shredded chicken and peas and simmer for 1 more minute.

Notes
- Leftover soup should be stored in an airtight food container in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days.
