2 tablespoons unsalted butter 

2 tablespoons olive oil 

1 ½ cups chopped large onion 

2 cloves minced garlic 

½ lb. sliced and peeled carrots

1 ½ lbs. boneless and skinless chicken thighs, cut into 2-inch chunks 

5 cups low-sodium chicken broth 

½ cup KAL Nutritional Yeast Flakes 

Salt, to taste

¼ teaspoon ground turmeric, optional 

8 ounces egg noodles 

¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped 

Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, to taste
