Why You'll Love This Recipe

  • This is a hearty soup that's ready in as little as 30 minutes!
  • Perfect for leftover chicken....even leftover rotisserie chicken!
  • The best chicken noodle soup to serve in Bread Bowls!

Ingredient Notes

  • Cheese - You can use any flavor of cheese you like. I prefer Quesa Quesadillas Cheese or an Italian Blend of Cheese. For a smoother soup, you can substitute Quesa Blanca Velveeta.
  • Chicken - Leftover chicken works great! If you're starting with raw chicken breasts, pre-bake them before using them.
  • Noodles - I prefer the medium-sized egg noodles. Large egg noodles tend to take over the soup.
  • Chicken Broth - Use a quality bouillon or homemade chicken stock.

Ingredients for this creamy chicken noodle soup recipe!

How to Make

  • In a soup pot over medium-high heat, sautรฉ the carrots, celery, and onions in the butter until the onions start to turn translucent.
  • Stir in the flour until no white streaks remain.
  • Add the chicken broth a little at a time until it's all blended in.
  • Add the potatoes.
  • Bring to a low boil and cook until the potatoes are cooked through.

  • While the potatoes cook, bring a separate pot of water to a boil.
  • Cook the egg noodles until al dente'.
  • Drain the noodles and set aside.
  • Add the chicken to the soup.
  • Add the cheese and stir until it's melted and blended into the soup, creating a creamy broth.
  • Add the cooked egg noodles.
  • Serve!
  • A crusty bread makes this a complete meal!

FAQs and Expert Tips

Do you have to cook the chicken before putting it in the soup?

Technically, no, you don't, but please do.ย  To ensure that the chicken is cooked through, it's just best to use 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 separately from the soup to ensure that the noodles and the soup both have the proper amounts of liquid they need to turn out well.ย  I really don't care for a soup that has hardly any broth because the noodles have soaked it all up.ย  I also find that a lot of times, noodles in soup end up being overcooked because other ingredients in the soup need to cook longer.ย  Cooking the noodles separately prevents those things from happening.ย 

What goes well with this chicken noodle soup?

Fresh hot bread like these Whole Wheat Dinner Rolls or these No Knead Parker House Rolls.
