How to Make the Best Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe

• Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup: Butter, carrots, celery, onion, chicken stock, chopped chicken, egg noodles, parsley, garlic, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, cream cheese, heavy cream, herbes de provence or dried Italian seasoning and bay leaves.
• Kitchen tools you’ll need: Large Dutch oven or heavy bottomed soup pot, sharp knife and cutting board, vegetable peeler, measuring cups and spoons, ladle and large spoon for stirring.
• 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 plenty of fresh vegetables in the form 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.
