Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s everything required to create this creamy, savory wonder:

🧄 For the Soup Base

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced (don’t be shy!)
  • 3 medium carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 1 lb cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie works wonderfully)

🧀 For the Creamy Garlic-Parmesan Broth

  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (not the green can!)
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • Salt & pepper to taste

🍜 For the Noodles

  • 2 cups egg noodles

🌿 For Finishing

  • Extra parmesan
  • Fresh parsley
  • A squeeze of lemon (optional but heavenly)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Build the Flavor Foundation

In a large pot, melt the butter with olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until it becomes translucent and fragrant. Then toss in the garlic this is where your kitchen will start to smell like heaven. Cook until lightly golden.

2. Add Veggies and Chicken

Add carrots and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the shredded chicken and mix well.

3. Create the Creamy Broth

Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Add Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Now comes the star: grated parmesan. Stir slowly until melted and fully combined, creating a silky, creamy soup.

4. Cook the Noodles

Add the egg noodles and simmer until tender, about 7–10 minutes. Stir occasionally so they don’t stick.

5. Final Touches

Taste and adjust seasoning. Add more parmesan if you want it cheesier (I always do). Finish with chopped fresh parsley and a tiny squeeze of lemon for brightness.

6. Serve Warm & Enjoy

Serve your Garlic Parmesan Chicken Noodle Soup steaming hot. Add extra parmesan on top trust me.
