Servings: 10
Ingredients
- 16 ounces wide egg noodles I like the no yolks dumplings
- 1 tablespoon chicken base granules better than bouillon or 1 cube
- 6 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 10.5 ounces cream of chicken soup
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- In a large pot, bring the broth up to a boil.
- Add the chicken base and stir to incorporate. Bring back to a boil.
- Stir in the egg noodles, stirring a few times so they don’t stick.
- Bring to a boil again and add the cream of chicken soup.
- Bring to a boil for one last time and boil for 3 minutes.
- Remove from the heat, add the butter. Stir to mix.
- Cover the pot and let sit for 15-20 minutes or until most of the liquid has been absorbed. Stir occasionally but be sure to return the lid quickly each time.
- Stir in the parmesan cheese.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy!
Notes
- Al dente noodles: Slightly undercook them so they have some texture. They will continue to soften as they absorb the broth.
- Add bacon: Toss in some crispy bacon pieces at end for extra flavor and crunch.
- Parmesan cheese: My favorite way to enjoy these are with a ton of Parmesan on top
- Refresh leftovers: Add a little butter or broth when reheating so they don't dry out.
