2. Brown Chicken: In a Dutch oven or large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil or butter over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken breast and brown it until golden on all sides. Once done, remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside.

3. Saute Vegetables: To the same pot, add the diced mixed vegetables and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften and become fragrant.

4. Add Liquid and Bouillon: Pour in the water, milk, and bouillon cubes. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.

5. Cook Noodles: Once the liquid is boiling, add the pasta to the pot. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the noodles and vegetables are almost tender.

6. Return Chicken: Add the browned chicken back into the pot, along with the seasoning blend. Stir to combine all the ingredients evenly.

7. Thicken Soup: Take about half a cup of the hot liquid from the pot and gradually add it to the bowl with the flour/butter mixture. Mix thoroughly until smooth. Then, pour this mixture back into the pot, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.

8. Simmer: Allow the soup to simmer for an additional 5 minutes or until it reaches your desired thickness and the flavors meld together beautifully.

9. Season and Serve: Season the soup with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences. Serve hot, accompanied by slices of crusty Italian bread for dipping and savoring every comforting bite.
