2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup diced or thinly sliced carrots
1 cup thinly sliced celery
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups diced leftover roasted chicken
1 cup evaporated milk
4 ounces (2 cups) uncooked wide egg noodles

Directions:

Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-heat. Add onion, carrots, celery and garlic clove; sauté 5 minutes. Sprinkle flour, oregano, thyme and poultry seasoning over vegetables, and cook 1 minute. Stir in broth and salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer, partially covered, for 25 minutes. Add roasted chicken, milk and noodles, and cook 10 minutes or until noodles are tender.
