“Easy creamy chicken noodle soup recipe loaded with chunks of chicken, onions, carrots, celery, fresh parsley, noodles and garlic in a savory, creamy broth. Even more comforting than regular chicken noodle soup!”
This fresh, easy, creamy chicken noodle soup is quickly becoming my favorite. Every year I tend to crave a particular soup all season long. Last year it was broccoli cheddar soup and this year it’s creamy chicken noodle soup. I’m ashamed to say how many times I’ve made it. We can’t seem to get enough of it around here and it’s a true winner since Isaac & Ethan likes it.
This creamy chicken noodle soup comes together so easily too especially when you cheat and use leftover rotisserie chicken. I’ve been so busy lately that I’ve been cheating a lot with Targets rotisserie chickens. We always have leftovers so I whip up this soup to get rid of it.
If you thought regular homemade chicken noodle soup was cozy and comforting then wait until you taste his luscious, creamy cousin. This creamy chicken noodle soup is full of all the fresh flavors of homemade chicken noodle soup like chunks of chicken, carrots, celery, onions, garlic, fresh parsley and noodles but with a creamy twist.
If you normally love cream based soups then you MUST try this one. I knew I was going to fall in love when I first made this soup because I can never resist a creamy style soup (um heeellllo creamy cheeseburger soup)
This is pure comfort food so don’t go asking me about calories and thang. I’m not sure I want to know since I’ve had many, many…. many bowls. Lord help me. If you’re looking for an easy, quick, filling and delicious dinner to make on a crisp fall or winter evening then this is what you want honey!
Watch me make this creamy chicken noodle soup from start to finish!

This is an excellent recipe. I cook soups or stews for Tuesday evenings all winter for members and guests of our ELKS LODGE in Victorville, California. This week I served this to 20 some people, all of whom loved it. I doubled it, which is easy enough to do. My highest compliments to you for sharing this great recipe. Perfect comfort food for cold High Desert nights!
Have to tell you when anyone in the family has a cold or not feeling well I get a request to make this soup. I also make this for neighbors, this is definitely comfort food. Only rave reviews for this wonderful soup. To help with time I always buy chicken when on sale, cook, pull and freeze for later use. Thank you for this recipe.
We have been eating this recipe for about a year now. It is absolutely wonderful. The first creamy chicken noodle soup recipe that we have tried that we wouldn’t change one single ingredient. It’s so comforting and just makes me smile thinking about it!!
This is my husband’s favorite meal that I cook and he’s not even a soup person, so that says a LOT about this recipe. It’s so delicious and yummy. I HAD to leave a comment.
