Description
A cozy, creamy twist on the classic chicken noodle soup—perfect for chilly evenings, sick days, or when you need something soothing. This one-pot wonder is loaded with shredded chicken, egg noodles, and vegetables in a rich, silky broth.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 carrots, peeled and sliced
2 stalks celery, chopped
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
6 cups chicken broth
2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie or leftover)
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3 cups egg noodles
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
1. Heat olive oil and butter in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté the onion, carrots, and celery for 5–6 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
2. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir to coat. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
3. Gradually pour in the chicken broth while whisking to prevent lumps. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken.
4. Add the shredded chicken, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Stir in the egg noodles and cook for 7–8 minutes, or until noodles are just tender.
6. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream and allow the soup to warm through, but do not boil.
7. Finish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
Don’t skip the flour step: It’s essential for thickening the broth—cook it for a minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Cook noodles just until tender: They will continue to soften in the hot soup, so avoid overcooking.
Add cream last: Stir in the heavy cream after removing the soup from high heat to avoid curdling.
