Description
A rich and comforting bowl of creamy chicken noodle soup filled with tender chicken, egg noodles, and hearty vegetables in a silky, flavorful broth.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz egg noodles
- 3 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 2 large carrots, sliced
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Place a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat and melt the butter.
- Add diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil.
- Add the egg noodles and cook until just al dente, about 7 to 8 minutes.
- Stir in the shredded cooked chicken and reduce heat to low.
- Slowly stir in the heavy cream and simmer for 5 minutes. Avoid boiling.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, then stir in fresh parsley.
- Ladle into bowls and serve hot with crusty bread or crackers.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for an easy shortcut.
- Don’t overcook the noodles — they’ll continue softening in the broth.
- For a thicker soup, stir in a cornstarch slurry near the end of cooking.
