I made this creamy chicken noodle and vegetable soup on a cold snowy day, it was just what I needed to forget about the storm happening outside. This delicious and hearty soup is full of all the savoury vegetables, chicken and noodles that you find in a regular chicken noodle soup but is also incredibly creamy.
Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup
I’ve been wanting to make a 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 have leftover rotisserie chicken and some ready made chicken broth. I didn’t have either, but I did have some chicken breasts in the freezer, and since I had plenty of time, I cooked the chicken in water along with some aromatic veggies and spices, so at the same time as I was cooking the chicken I was making some homemade chicken broth.
The soup came out so delicious that I’m already planning my next creamy soup meal. 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!

March 1, 2016 at 2:44 PMSuch a nice change to have a creamy rather than brothy chicken noodle soup. Just a touch richer. I am going to make this.
