Directions
-
In a large pot or kettle, combine chicken broth, diced cooked chicken, milk, quartered carrots, sliced celery, chopped green pepper, chopped onion, minced garlic, crushed dried marjoram, salt, and freshly ground pepper.
-
Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
-
Cook the vegetables until they are crisp-tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
-
Meanwhile, prepare the homemade noodles using flour, milk, and butter according to your preferred noodle recipe, or use store-bought egg noodles.

Add the prepared noodles to the simmering soup mixture.
-
Continue cooking until the noodles are almost done but still have a slight bite.
-
In a small cup, whisk together the remaining milk and all-purpose flour until smooth and lump-free.
-
Slowly stir the milk and flour mixture into the soup while it is simmering gently.
-
Let the soup boil gently for 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until it thickens to a creamy consistency.
-
Remove from heat and stir in the butter or margarine until melted and fully incorporated.
-
Ladle the hot soup into bowls and serve immediately.
