This creamy chicken noodle soup is a comforting 30-minute meal made with tender rotisserie chicken, wide egg noodles, and a rich, creamy broth. Sautéed vegetables and simple herbs bring classic homemade flavor with less time and effort.

Ingredients

Soup

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1 cup peeled and chopped carrots
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 4 to 5 cups chicken broth
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste (about 1/8 teaspoon of each, if desired)
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 3 cups wide egg noodles
  • 3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

For Serving

  • Fresh parsley, chopped, optional
  • Crackers or bread, optional

Instructions

  1. Sauté the vegetables. Set a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-low heat and melt the butter. Add the onion, carrots, and celery, then sauté for 4 to 5 minutes, until beginning to soften.
  2. Cook the flour. Stir the flour into the vegetables and cook for 1 minute, stirring, so it coats the vegetables and loses its raw taste.
  3. Add the broth and seasonings. Pour in 4 cups of chicken broth and stir in the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, thyme, salt, pepper, and bay leaf. Add the remaining broth as needed for your preferred soup consistency.
  4. Cook the noodles. Bring the soup to a low boil, then add the egg noodles. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, or according to the package directions, until tender.
  5. Finish with chicken and cream. Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the shredded rotisserie chicken and heavy cream until warmed through.
  6. Serve. Remove the bay leaf and ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve with crackers or bread.

Notes

  • Use 4 cups of broth for a thicker soup or up to 5 cups for a brothier consistency.
  • Noodle cooking times vary by brand; check the package and cook just until tender.
  • For the best noodle texture, serve the soup soon after adding the noodles, as they continue to absorb broth as they sit.
  • Fresh parsley, crackers, and bread are optional serving suggestions.
