How to Make a Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup

Made with simple ingredients, this creamy chicken soup is really easy to make and doesn’t take much time at all to prepare.

Here is the full list of ingredients needed to make this noodle soup. Please see the recipe card at the bottom of this post for ingredient amounts.

Ingredients Overview:

• Olive oil and butter
• Onion 
• Garlic 
• Carrot
• Celery
• Chicken broth 
• Dry pasta: I used broken up spaghettini but macaroni or orzo are also good choices.
• All-purpose Flour
• Milk: I used 2%
• Frozen peas: Frozen corn can be substituted.
• Shredded cooked chicken
• Salt, pepper, dry oregano or thyme to taste.
• Nutmeg and chopped fresh parsley: These are optional.

Steps Overview:

1. Start by chopping up the onions, celery, carrots, and garlic.
2. In a large pot, add a bit of oil and butter and add the chopped vegetables.
3. Season the vegetables with salt, pepper and oregano and then add the chicken broth to the vegetables. When the broth starts to boil, add the uncooked pasta to the pot.
4. While the noodles are cooking, in a separate small pot, combine the butter and flour and cook for a couple of minutes before slowly adding the milk. Make sure to whisk the creamy sauce to remove any lumps.
5. Add the milk mixture to the soup and let it simmer for a couple of minutes. Add the chopped rotisserie chicken, frozen peas and give it a stir.
6. If desired, before serving you can add a dash of grated nutmeg and some chopped fresh parsley. Adjust seasoning and serve!

Serving Suggestions

This soup is filling enough to enjoy as a meal. But if you like, you can serve it with warm crusty bread or biscuits. For a lighter meal serve this soup with a side salad.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftover soup in an airtight food container in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days. This soup does not freeze well.

How to Reheat a Creamy Soup

This creamy chicken noodle and vegetable soup makes great leftovers. Since it will thicken up once refrigerated you might want to thin it out slightly with more chicken broth or water when reheating.

Reheat soup on stovetop over medium-low heat. While stirring the soup, add enough broth or water until you have reached the desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Enjoy!
