Chicken Noodle Soup

Chicken Noodle Soup has just a little bit of creaminess which makes it so much more flavorful and comforting. It will warm you right up on a cold day and it can be made in no time at all.

I use rotisserie chicken because I find it to be incredibly flavorful, economical, plus quick and easy to use. I pretty much use all of the meat from a rotisserie chicken in this recipe, except for a little that I snack on while removing it from the bone. And maybe my dog gets a bite or two as well.  🙂

I like for there to be plenty of meat in my chicken noodle soup. Every spoonful should have some.

Next to the chicken, the egg noodles are my favorite part. Don’t put them in until right at the end and turn the heat off when they are just starting to get soft to prevent them from getting mushy.

I also love peas in my Chicken Noodle Soup, but you can leave them out.

This recipe calls for some fresh dill which really gives the soup a wonderful, fresh flavor. I recommend you give the dill a try, but if you’re sure you won’t like it, use parsley instead.

    I love this recipe. I’ve been retired several years now. And i’ve been making it since I was a little girl old enough to stand in a chair.
    The only difference in mine and this receipe is fresh dill. Its worth adding. What a delightful addition to the flavor. This receipe take me a total of 20 min to make. The truck is getting everything hot all at once. The true seasoning is in the wait. As it cools it thickens and flavors begin to start.

      Half-and-Half is a product you can find in any American store. If you are in another country you won’t find it. But no worries. All it is is equal parts heavy cream and milk.

  3. Takes a little extra time, but use the carcus of the rotissere chicken to make the broth. Really flavorful, and gets all the little extra pieces of chicken into your soup. I also like homemade noodles, these can be made and frozen.
