Chicken and Vegetables
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup carrots, diced
- 1 cup celery, diced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
Noodles and Cream
- 1 cup egg noodles
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Cook the chicken and vegetables: In a large pot, combine shredded cooked chicken, diced carrots, diced celery, and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 10-15 minutes.
- Add noodles: Stir in the egg noodles and continue to simmer the soup until the noodles are cooked through, approximately 7-8 minutes depending on noodle type.
- Incorporate cream: Lower the heat and gently stir in the heavy cream. Allow the soup to heat through without boiling to prevent curdling, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
- Use freshly cooked chicken or leftover rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- Adjust the cream quantity for a lighter or richer soup consistency.
- For gluten-free option, replace egg noodles with gluten-free pasta.
- Add fresh herbs like thyme or parsley for enhanced flavor.
