Ingredient Notes

  • Chicken – Use rotisserie chicken to make this soup recipe even simpler. Or bake some chicken breasts or thighs ahead of time to shred for this soup. 

  • Carrots, Celery, Onions – Classic veggies for a classic chicken soup. Chopped and sauteed in the pot. 

  • Garlic – Garlic makes everything better, it just does. 

  • Flour – Flour acts as a thickening agent to make this creamy soup super creamy and yummy. 

  • Chicken Broth – Full of chicken flavor and a good broth base for a comfort soup. 

  • Hiland Heavy Cream – Heavy Cream is the key to making this creamy chicken soup creamy. Rich and flavorful and the perfect addition. 

  • Italian Seasoning – A mix of basil, oregano, thyme, garlic, parsley that warms up the flavor for this soup

  • Egg Noodles – Egg Noodles are the most comforting of all the noodles in my opinion. They soak up all the creamy chicken soup goodness.

Step By Step Instructions

Saute the veggies: In a large pot on medium high heat, add the olive oil and butter and saute the diced onion, carrots and celery for about 4 minutes until soft. Add the minced garlic, stir and cook for another minute. 

 

Add the Flour: Sprinkle the flour over the veggies and stir together. Cook for a minute or so. 

 

Chicken Broth and Chicken: Pour in the chicken broth to your pot and stir until the flour has dissolved. Then add the Italian seasoning. Next add the shredded, cooked chicken and combine. 

 

Hiland Heavy Cream: Add the heavy cream to make this soup super creamy

 

Simmer and Add Egg Noodles: Cover and simmer on low for about 10 minutes. Add the egg noodles to the soup and cook for another 8 minutes. 


Season: Season with salt and pepper plus chopped parsley. Taste test and add more as needed.

What to Serve with Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup

Bread: My number one favorite is to dip a chunk of crusty bread into the creamy soup. 

Crackers or Croutons: Crumble some crackers or throw some seasoned croutons in there to soak up the creamy flavors. 

Salad: Soup and salad is a classic combo for a reason. Grab a bag salad, your favorite dressing to finish off this easy comfort dinner.

Storing & Reheating

Storing: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. 

Reheating: Ideally heat the soup up in a saucepan on low heat, add more chicken broth or heavy cream to help with the broth. You can also reheat in the microwave for a couple minutes on medium power. 

Freezing: I don’t recommend freezing this soup because cream based soups don’t always freeze successfully and the noodles tend to get extremely mushy.
