So warm, so cozy, so soothing. A must for those busy cold weeknights, using up that leftover rotisserie chicken!
I love all chicken noodle soups. Truly, I do. I love an Instant Pot version. A crockpot version. A stovetop version. You name it.
But this one. This lighter cream soup version. Yup, this one has completely stolen my heart.
Now this is not a thick nor super heavy soup say like clam chowder. It’s a slightly thickened broth, perfectly lightened up creamy goodness.
And you get to use up that leftover rotisserie chicken! Don’t have any on hand? Any kind of shredded/diced chicken breast/thighs will work beautifully here.

Made this for dinner during the week, very yummy and super easy and now i have tons of soup for the rest of the week so i don’t have to meal plan. Only thing i would say is i didn’t use any wine and it still turned out great so i wouldn’t consider it a crucial ingredient. definitely would and will be making this again.

Omgoodness I loved the flavors of this soup. I added more heavy cream (so I wouldn’t waste the little I had left) but it was worth it lol. I also added more broth to cover up the noodles. I will cook my noodles separately next time or even make it with rice.

I made this almost exactly as written, except I didn’t have egg noodles, and I don’t care for peas, so I used Schwabian Spetzle from Aldi and diced pimentos, mostly for color. That said, it was DELICIOUS. This is one of the best recipes I’ve made from a web site, ever. Really, really good. Thank you, damndelicious! I will be making this again.

Made this last night and am SO excited to eat it again for lunch today. It is soooo good! I only had frozen breasts so i defrosted them in the microwave and cooked them in the air fryer. Easy peasy! Thank you for this—probably going to be a favorite recipe this winter!

Shawna Davis — October 24, 2022 @ 12:41 PM Reply
The alcohol cooks out of the wine, but you can sub more chicken stock for the wine if you want to leave it out.

Julia Borrelli — November 4, 2022 @ 8:15 AM Reply
Yes I subbed it out for chicken stock!! I have made this 3 times since I commented. My husband hates chicken soup and is obsessed with this recipe. My whole family gave it a “50 out of 10”. Making it again tonight!!

Great recipe! Comes together quickly, with minimal effort and makes a comforting, delicious dinner! I subbed olive oil for the butter, omitted the celery, subbed frozen corn for peas (no peas in freezer), subbed ww pasta for the egg noodles (no egg noodles in pantry) , forgot to add the cream and wine and it was still great! Definitely going to make this again.

He made it the next day and to everyone’s surprise especially mine I ate a whole bowl full of deliciousness. This will definitely be going into my favorite recipes binder.
