Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Broth

  • 4 cups shredded chicken (about 1 rotisserie chicken, pulled)
  • 10 cups chicken broth (plus up to 2 more cups if needed)
  • 2 cups heavy cream

Vegetables

  • 2 cups celery, chopped
  • 2 cups carrots, chopped
  • 1 medium-large yellow onion, chopped

Seasoning and Thickening

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
  • 1/3 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup water
  • Salt, to taste

Pasta

  • 12 ounces wide egg noodles (1 package, uncooked)

Instructions

  1. Sauté Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large stock pot over medium to medium-high heat until bubbly and fragrant. Add chopped celery, carrots, onion, poultry seasoning, and salt. Sauté the mixture until the vegetables become tender, which should take about 5-10 minutes.
  2. Add Broth, Cream, Noodles, and Chicken: Pour 8 cups of the chicken broth and all of the heavy cream into the pot with the sautéed vegetables. Stir in the wide egg noodles and shredded chicken, ensuring everything is submerged in the liquid. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for 8-10 minutes, or until the noodles are cooked to al dente texture.
  3. Prepare Cornstarch Slurry: While the soup simmers, combine the cornstarch and water in a small bowl, mixing until the cornstarch is fully dissolved to create a slurry.
  4. Thicken the Soup: Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering soup while stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Allow the soup to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly. If you prefer a thinner soup, stir in additional chicken broth to adjust the consistency.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Optionally, garnish the soup with fresh parsley for added color and freshness. Serve the creamy chicken noodle soup hot and enjoy a comforting meal.

Notes

  • You can adjust the thickness of the soup by adding extra chicken broth after thickening if you prefer it less creamy.
  • For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken broth or low sodium broth if you want to control salt levels.
  • Make sure to stir continuously when adding the cornstarch slurry to avoid lumps.
  • Leftover soup can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
  • Adding fresh parsley as a garnish adds a fresh touch but is optional.
