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.

This is so comforting & tasty!! Love homemade chicken noodle soup. It’s easy & better than store bought!
This soup was soooooo good! I had creamy chicken noodle soup at a restaurant once before and loved but moved to another state and haven’t been able to go back for more. I was so excited when I saw your recipe. It turn d out amazing. My husband is not a big soup fan and chicken is is least favorite meat but he LOVED it! Thank you for sharing this recipe. I’m going to wait a couple of days and then make it again!
Yay!! Glad you found this recipe! It’s one of our favorites! Thank you so much!
This soup is delicious!! —I made this for dinner tonight with the hope of it soothing my stomach. For several days now I haven’t been able to eat much that will stay down. Cautiously tried 4 ounces of it once I made it and it was so delicious & comforting. This is going to be my “go to” soup from now on whenever I’m sick. Thank you for sharing the recipe!!
You are so welcome! I hope it made you feel better! Thank you for giving it a try!
This was a delicious recipe–and I am usually not a fan of chicken noodle soup. The noodles made all the difference! I was so happy to find them in the freezer section. I changed the recipe only slightly–I omitted the celery (neither of us like it), used all fresh parsley and fresh thyme, and instead of milk and cream I used 1.5 cups of half & half. I think the half & half made it a little less heavy than it would have been and it was perfect for us. I also used regular chicken broth instead of low-sodium (did not add the salt). Next time I’ll probably add peas. This recipe is definitely a keeper!
Thanks April, glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
This is such a hit. I am asked to make this for every family gathering and my hubby always asks for it any day of the week. I love adding white wine while sweating the veggies. Adds a little umph. Still perfect as is though!!!
