This classic recipe uses simple ingredients simmered together for hours to develop rich taste, then combined with creamy butter and chicken soup for a satisfying meal perfect for family gatherings or cozy nights.

  • Total Time: 3 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Soup Base

  • 4 pounds whole chicken
  • 4 quarts water
  • ¼ cup chicken broth base
  • 2 stalks celery, roughly chopped
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • ¼ cup parsley

Main Ingredients

  • 12 ounces dried egg noodles
  • 10 ounces cream of chicken soup
  • 4 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare Broth: Add the whole chicken, water, chicken broth base, celery, onion, and parsley into a large stock pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer and cover the pot.
  2. Simmer Chicken: Let the chicken simmer for 2 to 3 hours to extract maximum flavor into the broth, making it rich and savory.
  3. Remove Chicken Meat: Carefully lift the chicken from the broth, then remove the meat from the bones. Shred or chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces for easy eating.
  4. Strain Broth: Pour the broth through a fine mesh strainer to remove all solids, leaving a clear, flavorful liquid.
  5. Boil Broth for Noodles: Return 4 cups of the strained broth to the pot and bring it to a boil, preparing it to cook the egg noodles.
  6. Add Noodles and Chicken: Add the dried egg noodles and shredded chicken into the boiling broth. Cover the pot and turn off the heat, letting noodles soak.
  7. Soak Noodles: Let the noodles set for 30 minutes off heat, stirring every 10 minutes to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
  8. Check Noodle Doneness: Test the noodles; if they are not fully cooked, return the pot to heat and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until tender.
  9. Add Cream Soup and Butter: Stir in the cream of chicken soup and butter until the butter melts completely, blending creaminess throughout the mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  10. Serve or Keep Warm: Serve the dish immediately or keep it covered in the pot to stay warm for up to 30 minutes without overcooking.

Notes

  • Use dried egg noodles for best texture; fresh noodles may alter cooking times.
  • Simmering longer enhances broth depth and flavor.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to taste after adding soup and butter as soup may already contain salt.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated with extra broth if needed.
