Soup Base
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or chopped
Noodles
- Simmer Soup: In a large pot, bring the chicken broth and sliced carrots to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Allow it to cook for about 10-15 minutes until the carrots are tender.
- Add Noodles and Cream: Add the egg noodles to the simmering broth and cook until noodles are tender, about 6-8 minutes. Then stir in the cream and the cooked chicken. Continue to gently simmer for another 3-5 minutes to heat through and meld the flavors.
Notes
- You can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or evaporated milk for a lighter soup.
- For richer flavor, sauté the carrots in a little butter before adding to broth.
- Use leftover cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- Adjust thickness by varying the amount of cream added.
- This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
