Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup
I’ve been wanting to make creamy chicken soup for some time now, so when I saw this recipe for Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup over at Cooking Classy I knew it was time I tried it. This soup is really easy to make and doesn’t take much time at all to prepare, especially if you’re using
To make this Creamy Chicken Noodle and Vegetable Soup, you’ll need to chop up some aromatic vegetables such as onions, celery, carrots, and garlic. Cook them in a bit of oil and butter and then add the chicken broth. When the broth is boiling, add the uncooked pasta to the pot. 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. Add the mixture to the soup and let it simmer for a bit. Add the chopped rotisserie chicken, frozen peas and give it a stir. Adjust the seasoning and serve!
How to Reheat Soup
The soup makes great leftovers, but you might want to thin it out slightly with more chicken broth or water when reheating. Just add enough broth until you have the desired consistency. Enjoy!
