Description
Enjoy a bowl of homemade Cafeteria Noodles that combines egg noodles, creamy chicken soup, and savory broth. It’s perfect for a quick dinner or a comforting meal on busy nights!
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 chicken bouillon cube, or 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon powder
- 12 ounces wide egg noodles
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
- ½ cup unsalted butter, cut into tablespoons
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish, optional
Instructions
- In a large pot or deep skillet with a lid, bring the chicken broth and bouillon cube to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until dissolved.
- Add the egg noodles and stir. Reduce heat to medium-low to maintain a simmer, cover, and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally until noodles are just tender.
- Stir in the cream of chicken soup, butter, salt, and black pepper. Continue cooking over low heat, stirring until the butter is melted and everything is smooth, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of chicken broth (or a little milk) until desired consistency is reached.
- Spoon into bowls and serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
This dish can be prepared in advance and reheated; add a bit of broth when reheating to loosen the sauce.
Adjust seasoning according to your taste for extra flavor.
Feel free to add cooked vegetables or chicken for a more filling meal.
