Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups (32 ounces) 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 (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, cut into tablespoons

- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish, optional
Instructions
- In a large pot or deep skillet, bring chicken broth and bouillon cube to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until dissolved.
- Add egg noodles and stir. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 10-12 minutes until noodles are tender, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in cream of chicken soup, butter, salt, and black pepper. Continue cooking on low until butter is melted and smooth, about 3-5 minutes.
- If the sauce thickens too much, add a splash of chicken broth or milk to reach desired consistency.
- Serve hot in bowls, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
For added flavor, consider stirring in some cooked chicken or vegetables.
Adjust the amount of chicken broth if you prefer a soupier noodle dish.
