What is the best way to thicken chicken noodle soup?
You can add a creamy ingredient to thicken up conventional chicken noodle soup (like sour cream, yogurt, or canned cream soup).
You can also take 1/2 cup of the broth out of the pot and whisk in 1/2 cup flour until smooth. Return the flour mixture to the saucepan gently, being careful not to break up the noodles.
Because this creamy chicken noodle soup is so thick, you shouldn’t have any issues!

Start with the simple salt and pepper if your chicken noodle soup is missing in taste.

A dash of cream will also add a fantastic taste boost to your chicken noodle soup!
Substitutions and Recipe Suggestions
Chicken noodle soup with cream of chicken in two bowls.
If you have particularly huge and thick slices of meat, the chicken can take a long time to cook. To make the pieces cook faster, split the chicken breasts in half and then horizontally (butterfly) before adding them to the simmer water.
Start cooking the noodles with 1/4 cup of water at a time until you have enough water to cover everything. You may or may not require the entire cup of water.
This soup is rich and thick. The original recipe called for two cream of chicken soup cans, but I only used one to keep the soup from becoming too thick.
If your soup is too thick for you, thin it up by adding 1/4 cup of milk (or even water) at a time.
If you like mushrooms, combine 1/2 pound fresh sliced mushrooms with the other veggies in the soup.
When refrigerated in an airtight container in the refrigerator, this soup will last for 3-5 days. When reheating, add 1-2 tablespoons of water to restore the soup’s consistency.
