-Dice thighs while still hot on a cutting board.
-Reserve broth in pan.
-Cook noodles in boiling, salted water just until tender.
-Meanwhile, in large saucepan or skillet (same as for cooking chicken), heat soup with milk or the reserved chicken broth, blending smooth.
-Add basil and pepper, plus the frozen broccoli and shredded carrots.
-Break broccoli apart with a fork.
-Continue heating until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
-Stir in the sliced green onions and diced chicken.
-Cook another minute or so.
--Meanwhile, drain noodles as soon as they are tender and stir into the chicken mixture, or spoon noodles onto warm serving plates and ladle chicken mixture over the top.
