Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe

This is already my favorite go-to soup in my house. I’ve made it multiple times and is on a pretty much a weekly rotation.

I even brought it to the in-laws on Christmas!

Miss K LOVES this soup. In fact the first time I made this our little family ate the entire pot.

That’s a lot of soup.

I knew it was a winner and I needed to share it with you!

How to make Homemade Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe

Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large stockpot.
Sauté the vegetables until they just beginning to soften, about 7 minutes.
Add garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and cook for 1 minute; stirring continually.
Slowly stir in the broth. Be sure to scrape the bottom of the pan to remove all the cooked bits.
Add chicken to soup and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, partially covered for 20 minutes.
Next stir in the noodles, evaporated milk, salt, oregano and pepper. Stir to combine. Cook the soup for 10 minutes or until the noodles are al dente.
Remove chicken, shred with two forks, then return it to the soup.

Pro Tips!

This is a great make-a-head soup! If you make it the day before, it will taste even better on day two!
Because this soup uses evaporated milk, it will not freeze well. The solid in milk (and non-dairy milk products) separate when frozen. Bottom line – it’s just not as good after being frozen. Additionally, pasta will often get mushy when frozen, thawed and reheated.
Finishing the soup with a handful of minced parsley and a squeeze of lemon just before serving will brighten the flavors!
