Once the chicken is cool to the touch, cut it into cubes. - In another pot over medium heat, add butter. When it begins to melt, add the chopped onions and the remaining 2 cloves of garlic. Cook, stirring regularly, until limp. Add carrots and celery and cook, stirring occasionally.
- Add the broth used to cook the chicken and bring to a boil. Add pasta and chicken. Add evaporated milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Lower heat and continue to cook for about 7 to 8 minutes or until heated through.
