This creamy chicken noodle soup recipe has been my go-to. The kids will eat it, leftovers are enjoyed for days, and I can always sneak in lots of veggies! It’s a twist on a classic chicken noodle soup. This recipe is just as good as the classic version but has a creamier taste than the broth-based one.

I made this soup a few weeks ago, and our youngest insisted we make it again, so I did! It’s hearty without being overly rich, full of veggies and protein, and loaded with thick, homestyle egg noodles. Everyone will love it!

    I have made this many, many times and everyone always looks forward to it. I have one kiddo who doesn’t like soup (seriously) and this is thick enough for him. I also have a pescatarian, and I just remove a portion for her before adding the chicken.

    Omg this was amazing! I didn’t measure out the seasonings, i seasoned with my heart lol! Also fortunately I am living in Italy atm so used fresh pasta, I think the starch made it extra creamy!! Will add this to my recipe journal

    It was delicious but needed so MUCH more seasoning than what it called for , I added quite a bit more different seasonings because it was quite bland without the extra seasoning .
