How to Make Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup
Step 1: In a large stockpot or Dutch oven set over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the carrots, celery, and onion, and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Pour in the broth and water, and bring the mixture to a boil. Add the seasonings, then the egg noodles. Boil for 15 minutes.
Step 2: Meanwhile, in a medium skillet set over medium heat, add 3 tablespoons of butter. Whisk in the flour and cook, whisking constantly for 1-2 minutes or until it turns a pale golden brown. Slowly pour in the milk and cream, whisking until a smooth paste forms. Carefully whisk the mixture into the large pot.
Step 3: Add the shredded chicken and continue cooking for 5 minutes. Remove from heat once the egg noodles are tender. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.

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 .
