2 carrots, finely diced
2 sticks of celery, finely diced
1 clove of garlic, chopped
1 1/4 cups chicken stock
1 1/4 cups whole milk
6 ounces macaroni (uncooked, about 2 1/3 cups)

1 tsp pepper
3.5 ounces sweet peas

- Melt butter in frying pan over a medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery, and cook for 5 minutes or until soft but not quite taking on color. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Pour chicken stock and whole milk into the pan and bring to a boil. Add the macaroni, salt, pepper, and oregano, and turn down to a simmer.
