Ingredients
  

For the Soup Base
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded Can use rotisserie chicken for convenience
  • 4 cups chicken broth Use low-sodium for a healthier option
  • 1 cup egg noodles Make sure to cook al dente
  • 1 cup heavy cream Can be substituted with coconut milk for dairy-free option
  • 1 cup carrots, sliced Fresh carrots recommended
  • 1 cup celery, sliced Adds crunch and flavor to the soup
  • 1 medium onion, chopped Enhances the soup's aroma
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced Add more for extra flavor
  • Salt and pepper to taste Season just before serving
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Used for sautéing vegetables

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, stirring frequently, until they become fragrant and the onion turns translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Toss in the sliced carrots and celery. Stir the mixture together for an additional 4-5 minutes to soften the vegetables slightly.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Add the shredded chicken to the pot, allowing it to mingle with the flavorful broth.
  4. Carefully add the egg noodles, stirring intermittently. Let this simmer for another 7-8 minutes, or until the noodles are cooked al dente.
  5. Turn the heat down to low and stir in the heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the soup to heat through for about 3-4 more minutes.
  6. Ladle the warm soup into bowls, sprinkle with your favorite herbs, and enjoy the delightful flavors of your homemade Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup!

Notes

Leftover soup can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat gently to maintain creaminess and add broth or cream if needed.
