Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 medium carrots, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cubed
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups egg noodles
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
How to Make Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sliced carrots, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cubed chicken breast to the pot. Sauté until the chicken is browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken broth and stir in the dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, add the egg noodles to the pot. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.
- Stir in the heavy cream and chopped parsley, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Serve hot, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
Tips for the Best Results
- For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of lemon juice or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the soup.
- If you prefer a thicker soup, allow it to simmer a bit longer after adding the cream.
- Use rotisserie chicken for a quicker option, shredding it and adding it at the same time you stir in the cream.
Easy Variations
- Swap out egg noodles for whole wheat or gluten-free pasta.
- Add other vegetables like peas, corn, or bell peppers for extra nutrition.
- For a spicy kick, toss in some diced jalapeños or a few dashes of hot sauce.
What to Serve With It
- Crusty bread or garlic toast for dipping.
- A fresh green salad with a light vinaigrette.
- Cheesy crackers for a fun crunch.
