Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
