This creamy rooster noodle soup recipe outcomes from so lots of our readers loving our chicken noodle soup and asking for a creamy model. Now we’ve this recipe, I’m struggling to decide on a favourite! They’re each so darn good.
This scrumptious creamy rooster soup is as straightforward to make as the unique recipe. The broth is ever so barely thickened, making it silky, and we add a beneficiant splash of cream in the direction of the top. It’s mouthwatering.
Key Components
- Hen Thighs: My secret for the most effective creamy rooster soup! Hen thighs have extra fats and taste than rooster breast, making them excellent for this soup. I additionally favor the feel of thigh meat in soups since it’s unattainable to forestall overcooking the rooster because it simmers away on the range.
- Hen Broth: I extremely advocate selfmade rooster inventory or rooster broth, however store-bought works! When purchasing for inventory, darker broth or bouillon often means extra taste. I additionally love boxed bone broths (or you’ll be able to make bone broth).
- Flour and Cream: A bit of little bit of flour helps thicken this soup, whereas a splash of cream makes it tremendous creamy. I’ve made the error of utilizing milk as an alternative of cream on this soup, and I’m right here to inform you that it isn’t a good suggestion. Milk has much less fats than cream, so it has an elevated danger of breaking (or curdling). This occurred to me once I ran out of cream and reached for milk as an alternative. I used to be cautious to not boil the milk (which ends up in curdled milk), however the milk curdled anyway, ruining my soup. Milk additionally fails so as to add the richness of the cream. When you don’t have cream, the subsequent best choice is half-and-half (a 50-50 mix of cream and milk).
- Egg Noodles: I really like them, however you’ll be able to at all times substitute your favourite pasta.
- Veggies: I preserve it easy with onion, celery, carrots, and garlic.
- Thyme, Bay Leaves, and Parsley: All three are traditional flavors for rooster soup.
Methods to Make Creamy Hen Noodle Soup
I begin this creamy rooster soup the identical means I make our authentic rooster noodle soup: by sweating my veggies in butter. I’m not seeking to brown them; I need to give them a head begin earlier than including the broth. Subsequent, I stir in some flour, which can assist our broth thicken barely. Lastly, I add the broth and style for seasoning.

Adam and Joanne’s Suggestions

- Freezing: Freeze for as much as 3 months. The noodles don’t fare too nicely when frozen. When you plan on freezing the soup, take away the portion you propose to freeze earlier than including the noodles. Freeze the broth, rooster, and greens. When you find yourself able to reheat the soup, add dried noodles to it and simmer till executed.
- Seasoning: When you really feel the soup lacks some zing, add extra salt. You’ll be able to add taste with a splash of fish sauce (we frequently use this trick for store-bought shares and broths) or Worcestershire sauce.
- Gluten-free possibility: Skip the flour altogether.
