We took our favorite chicken noodle soup recipe and updated it to highlight our favorite winter vegetables: parsnips. Sweet and earthy, parsnips are the ideal contrast for savory chicken, tender egg noodles, and herbaceous broth. Fresh thyme and dried bay leaf are all you need to improve store-bought chicken broth. Because parsnips impart their own natural sweetness into the soup, be sure to season with salt and pepper just before serving to balance all the flavors. Note: This recipe can easily be adapted to feed four people, simply double the ingredients and divide between two Suvie pans.

3) After the chicken has finished cooking, remove all the pans from your Suvie. Transfer chicken breast to a cutting board and shred into pieces with two forks, or cut into ½” cubes.
4) Remove and discard thyme and bay leaf from pan. Divide pasta and chicken evenly between 2 bowls. Spoon soup over the chicken, stirring to incorporate. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with parsley and serve.
