Cream of Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe

We were at a restaurant, and my husband exclaimed, "You can make better soup than this!" A challenge! We began discussing what we'd add and take out, and soon came up with this comforting soup.


     8 Servings
     Prep: 30 min.
     Cook: 50 min.

Ingredients

     2 medium onions
     2 celery ribs
     4 cups water
     3 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each)
     1-1/2 teaspoons salt
     1/4 teaspoon pepper
     2 tablespoons butter
     1 can (14-1/2 ounces) Progresso ® Chicken Broth
     1 large carrot, chopped
     1 medium potato, peeled and chopped
     2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
     1-1/2 teaspoons dried basil
     2 cups uncooked wide egg noodles
     1-3/4 cups milk, divided
     1/3 cup all-purpose flour

Directions

     Chop one onion and one celery rib; set aside. Cut remaining onion and celery into chunks; place in a Dutch oven. Add the water, chicken, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 25-30 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 170°. Remove chicken and strain broth; set both aside.
     In the same pan, saute chopped onion and celery in butter until tender. Add the canned broth, carrot, potato, bouillon, basil and reserved broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20-30 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
     Add noodles. Return to a boil; cook for 6-8 minutes or until noodles are tender. Cut chicken into chunks; add to soup. Stir in 1-1/4 cups milk; heat through.
     Combine flour and remaining milk until smooth; add to soup, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Yield: 8 servings.

Tip

Refrigerate Chicken Soup without Noodles

When I make my favorite chicken noodle soup, I find it tastes better if I refrigerate the soup without the noodles. When it's time to serve, I add the noodles to the amount of soup I'm going to use and cook them until tender. —Martha Dimitch, Nineveh, Indiana
