Wine Pairing

This pairs well with rich, medium-bodied white wines like the John Duval Plexus Blanc Barossa Valley from our Wine Club.

Directions:

Prepare the soup
In a large saucepan over medium heat, warm the olive oil. When it is hot, add the celery, leek and carrot and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Pour in the stock and add the bay leaf, thyme and shredded chicken. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the noodles, stir well and cook just until the noodles are tender, about 10 minutes.

Season the soup
Remove and discard the bay leaf from the soup. Season with salt and pepper. Ladle the soup into warmed bowls, garnish with the parsley and serve immediately. Serves 4.
