Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Vegetables

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped

Soup Base

  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 6 ounces egg noodles
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken and Vegetables: In a large pot over medium heat, add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add the sliced carrots and chopped celery, cooking until the vegetables are tender, about 8-10 minutes.
  2. Add the Chicken: Stir in the cooked, shredded chicken and continue to simmer so the flavors blend, about 5 minutes.
  3. Cook the Noodles: Add the egg noodles to the pot and cook according to package instructions, usually 6-8 minutes, until noodles are tender but still firm to the bite.
  4. Incorporate the Cream: Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Warm the soup gently without boiling to avoid curdling, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Serve Warm: Ladle the creamy chicken noodle soup into bowls and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can use rotisserie chicken or leftover cooked chicken to save time.
  • For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk, but the soup will be less rich.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, add a slurry of flour and water before adding cream to thicken it slightly.
  • Fresh herbs like thyme or parsley can be added for extra flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
