Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 chicken bouillon cube
- 12 ounces wide egg noodles
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
- ½ cup unsalted butter, cut into tablespoons
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish, optional
Instructions
- In a large pot or deep skillet with a lid, bring the chicken broth and bouillon cube to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until dissolved.
- Add the egg noodles and stir. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender.
- Stir in the cream of chicken soup, butter, salt, and black pepper. Continue cooking over low heat, stirring until the butter is melted and everything is smooth, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- If the sauce thickens too much, add a splash of chicken broth or milk to reach the desired consistency.
- Spoon into bowls and serve hot. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider adding vegetables like peas or carrots.
Use low-sodium chicken broth for a healthier option.
The noodles will continue to absorb liquid, so serve immediately for best results.
