Ingredients
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 chicken bouillon cube
- 16 ounces egg noodles
- 1 10.5-ounce can cream of chicken soup
- ½ cup salted butter
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Add 4 cups chicken broth and 1 chicken bouillon cube to a large pot or deep skillet with a lid. Heat over medium-high heat until the broth comes to a rolling boil.
- Stir in 16 ounces egg noodles and return the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally so the noodles do not stick together.
- Add 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup and stir until fully combined. Allow the mixture to boil for about 2 minutes so the sauce thickens slightly.
- Remove the pot from the heat and add ½ cup salted butter.
- Cover the pot with a lid and let it sit for a few minutes until the butter is fully melted.
- Stir well so the noodles are evenly coated in the creamy sauce.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.
