Ingredients
Soup Base
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 small onion diced
- 2 medium carrots sliced
- 2 stalks celery chopped
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups water
- 2 cups egg noodles
- 1 cup heavy cream or half and half
- 1 tsp salt or to taste
- 1/2 tsp black pepper or to taste
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley optional, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- In a large soup pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add diced onion, sliced carrots, and chopped celery. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and water. Bring to a gentle boil.
- Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until just tender.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer gently for 5 minutes without boiling.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.
Notes
Do not boil after adding cream to prevent curdling. For a thicker soup, mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water and stir in during simmering. To freeze, prepare the soup without cream and add dairy after reheating for best texture. Store refrigerated for up to 4 days.
