Soup Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 1 cup egg noodles
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken and Vegetables: In a large soup pot over medium heat, warm the olive oil or butter. Add the diced carrots and celery and sauté until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the cooked chicken and stir to combine.
  2. Add Broth and Simmer: Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 10-15 minutes.
  3. Cook Noodles: Add the egg noodles to the simmering soup and cook according to package instructions, usually 6-8 minutes, until tender.
  4. Add Cream and Season: Lower the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Heat through gently without boiling to prevent curdling. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Serve: Ladle the creamy chicken noodle soup into bowls and serve hot for a comforting meal.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or milk, but the soup will be less rich.
  • You can use any type of noodles you prefer, such as egg noodles, fettuccine, or small pasta shapes.
  • Adding fresh herbs like thyme or parsley enhances the flavor.
  • Leftover cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken works great for convenience.
  • Do not boil after adding cream to avoid curdling.
