# Guide to Cooking:

01 - Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion, sliced carrots, celery, and chopped parsley; cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add minced garlic and cook for 20 seconds.
02 - Incorporate flour, salt, oregano, thyme, and black pepper into the vegetables. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring frequently to form a roux.
03 - Gradually stir in chicken broth, scraping any browned bits from the pot bottom. Add bay leaves and chicken breasts, then bring mixture to a boil.
04 - Reduce heat to a gentle simmer, partially cover, and cook for 20 to 25 minutes until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside.
05 - Remove chicken breasts from the pot and place on a cutting board to cool slightly. Shred the meat using two forks and return it to the pot.
06 - Stir in milk, heavy cream, and egg noodles. Bring to a steady boil and cook for approximately 7 minutes until noodles reach al dente texture.
07 - Remove soup from heat and discard bay leaves. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve immediately.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - For a thicker consistency, allow soup to simmer uncovered for a few minutes before adding the noodles.
