Warm up with this creamy chicken noodle soup with egg noodles! It’s easy, full of chicken and vegetables has a light cheesy flavor.
Check out this Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup recipe! I seriously love this soup. It is quick and easy and tastes so good. It is also a really great soup to make for a crowd because it doubles well and is relatively inexpensive. Even though this calls for chicken, you can substitute turkey as well. It makes great leftovers, too!
How to make this creamy chicken noodle soup:
- Start out by lightly sauteing the carrots, celery, and onions in the butter until they are slightly softened.
- Stir in the flour to make a paste and add the chicken broth a little at a time until it is smooth.
- Add the potatoes and simmer until cooked through. (While the potatoes are cooking start heating up water in a separate pot to cook the noodles in.)
- Add the chicken and 6 to 8 oz. queso blanco velveeta. I like the queso blanco because the white cheese is more mild that the cheddar.
- While the velveeta is melting into the soup, boil the uncooked medium egg noodles in a separate pot according to their packages instructions. Drain and add the noodles to the soup.
- Serve with bread or saltine crackers.
Frequently asked questions:
What goes well with this chicken noodle soup?
We like to eat saltine crackers with this soup, but any kind of hot bread or rolls would be good too! A side salad or some steamed broccoli would also be a great addition to this meal!
Do you have to cook the chicken before putting it in the soup?
Technically, no you don’t, but please do. To ensure that the chicken is cooked through it’s just best to used chicken that’s already been cooked for this recipe.
Why do you cook the noodles before adding them to the soup?
I prefer to cook the noodles separate from the soup to ensure that the noodles and the soup both have the proper amounts of liquid they need to turn out well. I really don’t care for a soup that has hardly any broth because the noodles have soaked it all up. I also find that a lot of times noodles in soup end up being overcooked because other ingredients in the soup needed to cook longer. Cooking the noodles separately prevents those things from happening.
