CREAMY CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP RECIPE
A dinner that my family craves on cold nights is always a warm soup with some bread! We love this version of chicken noodle soup with a creamy base because everyone eats it (willingly!) and it comes together with not a lot of effort.Â
It cooks in one pot on the stove top and will warm you right up.Â
CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP WITH EGG NOODLES AND SOUR CREAM
Chicken Broth - You will need 2 cartons (32 oz each) of chicken broth for this recipe. I prefer to use the full-salt chicken broth as it adds the best flavor to the soup, but you can also use one full-salt + one low-sodium. If you use both cartons of low-sodium chicken broth you will probably need to add some additional for the best flavor, if wanted.
Cream of Celery - I don't use the canned creamed soups a lot in my recipes but this one I do! It really is so delicious and a great way to get that creamy flavor. Plus, celery is usually found in chicken noodle soup but I have never cared for the chunks of celery in my soup, which is why I have found using the creamed celery soup is the best way.Â
Carrots - You need one cup for this recipe and the easiest way to get it is to use baby carrots! They are already peeled and the ends cleaned so all you have to do is slice them.Â
Onion - I prefer to use a white onion for this soup.
Chicken - The chicken needs to be cooked before adding it into the soup. Use a rotisserie chicken, leftover shredded chicken, or cook some in the slow cooker or instant pot during the day and then it's ready to use at dinner.Â
Sour Cream - This provides a rich, creamy texture to the soup. If you're not a fan of sour cream feel free to use some heavy cream instead.Â
Pepper, Poultry Seasoning, Dried Parsley - This is the combination of seasonings that I love in chicken noodle soup. But feel free to add or substitute with ones you prefer.Â
Egg Noodles
HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP ON THE STOVE TOP
- Combine the chicken broth, cream of celery, chopped onion, sliced carrots in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Let that come to a boil and then reduce heat to medium and let cook for about 10-15 minutes or until carrots and onion are soft.Â
- Add the cooked chicken, seasonings, and egg noodles. Bring to a boil again (you may have to increase heat to high for this) and then once boiling reduce heat slightly and cook for about 10 minutes or until the noodles are soft.
- Stir in the sour cream and serve!

I fixed this for supper on Friday. I didn't have any sour cream, so I used heavy cream instead. It was out of this world delicious. My husband ate 3 bowls so I know that it was a home run in the deliciousness category. Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful recipe. I'm not a big fan of regular chicken noodle soup, but this has such a wonderful taste. It's definitely a recipe I will make again.
Heavy cream is a great substitute for sour cream! I love comments like this hearing that it was a hit. Thanks so much for being here, commenting, and for the 5 star rating. I truly appreciate it.
My whole family loved this! (And they are picky!). I didn't have the poultry seasoning so added some thyme and it was wonderful!
Just made this. Wanted some comfy food and it was delicious. Usde Better Than Bouillon instead of chicken broth. Thank you for posting this recipe.
You're very welcome! Thank you for visiting and leaving your comment. I appreciate it.
