Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup

A big bowl of homemade Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup is guaranteed to make you feel warm and fuzzy inside. It comes together in a snap for a comforting one pot meal.

Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup

Chicken noodle soup is the ultimate when it comes to comforting soups to make. It's widely believed that chicken noodle soup has the power to cure what ails you. I'm not sure that there's any solid evidence that it's medicinal, but it does have a way of making you feel warm and satisfied. It doesn't get any better than that.

Helpful Tips for Making Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup

• This soup is the perfect opportunity to utilize leftover chicken or one of those ready-to-eat rotisserie chickens from the grocery store to expedite ingredient prep.
• The addition of onion, celery and carrots turns this into a one pot meal.
• This recipe is very forgiving. Keep in mind that you can thicken the broth using more cream cheese and likewise, you can thin the broth further using more chicken stock.
• You can adapt the seasonings to your taste using either herbes de provence or Italian seasoning. I recommend starting with 1 teaspoon, than adding more from there. Add, then taste and adjust.
• There's nothing better with a bowl of soup than a side of buttered bread. Checkout my recipe for Dutch Oven Artisan White Bread for the perfect duo.
