Chicken Noodle Soup

Serves 4 to 6

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 onion, chopped fine
2 carrots, peeled and sliced thin
1 celery rib, sliced thin
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
8 cups low-sodium chicken broth
3 cups shredded rotisserie or leftover chicken
8 oz medium width egg noodles
salt and pepper

Melt butter in large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until foaming.  Add onion, carrots, celery, and tarragon and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.  Stir in broth and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat to medium low and simmer, covered, until vegetables are tender, 10 minutes.  Remove lid of pot.  Stir in egg noodles, increase heat to medium-high and return to a simmer.  Simmer 6 minutes until noodles are almost done.  Stir in rotisserie chicken and cook until heated through, 2 minutes longer.  Taste and add salt and pepper as needed.  Serve.
