Description

Cafeteria Noodles blend chicken broth, creamy soup, and egg noodles for an irresistible dish. Perfect for a quick, comforting meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 chicken bouillon cube
  • 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

  1. 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 until dissolved.
  2. Add the egg noodles and stir. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally until tender.
  3. Stir in the cream of chicken soup, butter, salt, and black pepper. Cook on low heat, stirring until the butter melts and the mixture is creamy, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  4. If the sauce thickens too much, add a splash of chicken broth or milk until desired consistency is reached.
  5. Spoon into bowls and serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

Feel free to add cooked vegetables or chicken for extra flavor and nutrition.
For a richer taste, consider using homemade chicken broth.
Ensure to stir frequently while cooking to prevent the noodles from sticking.
