Servings: 6
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 of chicken broth and 1 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 of egg noodles and allow the liquid to return to a boil, stirring occasionally so the noodles don’t stick.
- Add 1 can (10.5 oz) of cream of chicken soup and stir until fully combined. Let the mixture boil for about 2 minutes so the sauce thickens slightly.
- Remove the pot from the heat and add 1/2 cup of butter. Cover with a lid and let it sit for a few minutes, until the butter is completely melted.
- Stir well to coat the noodles in the creamy sauce. Garnish with parsley if desired, then serve warm. Enjoy!
