How to Make Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup
This is a quick and easy homemade creamy chicken noodle soup recipe. Below is a rough overview of the cooking process, but exact instructions can be found in the recipe card at the end of this post.
Storage & Reheating Instructions
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 4 months. You will want to reheat leftover soup very gently in the microwave on 50% power until it’s as warm as desired. Or you can do it on the stove over gentle heat. However, any time you are reheating anything with milk/cream in it, there is the risk of it ‘breaking’ or separating. This is much less likely with fattier milks such as whole milk and heavy cream. If you’re using skim, 1 or 2%, there is a much greater risk it can ‘break’ which is why I advise using whole milk, and the heavy cream is just extra insurance.
