    Substitutions


    Olive Oil
    : If you're out of olive oil, don't sweat it. Swap it for vegetable oil, canola oil, or even melted butter.

    Celery and Carrots: These can be swapped for other veggies like bell peppers, zucchini, or even sweet potatoes. Mix and match to your heart's content.

    Low-Sodium Chicken Stock: If you're all out of chicken stock, vegetable broth works just as well. If you only have regular chicken stock, just be mindful of the salt levels as you add other ingredients.

    Cream Cheese: For a twist, try using Greek yogurt or sour cream instead of cream cheese. They'll add a tangy kick.

    Thin Egg Noodles: Can't find thin egg noodles? Regular egg noodles, spaghetti noodles broken into pieces, or even small pasta shapes like shells will do the trick.

    Rotisserie Chicken: While rotisserie chicken is a time-saver, you can use cooked leftover chicken breasts or thighs.

    Ranch Dressing: Make your own ranch dressing by mixing mayonnaise, sour cream, and a blend of herbs like dill, parsley, and chives or you can add 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning.

    Half and Half: If you're out of half and half, you can use whole milk or heavy cream

    Bacon: Crispy bacon can be replaced with cooked and crumbled sausage, ham, or even sautéed mushrooms for a vegetarian twist.

    Tips

    When you're shredding that rotisserie chicken, make sure it's in bite-sized bits.

    Go for low-sodium chicken stock so your soup doesn't get too salty.

    Soften up that cream cheese before you toss it in – it'll make everything nice and creamy.

    Sprinkle some bacon bits right on top before you dig in – it's all about that extra flavor and crunch.

    Storage

    If you've got leftover crack chicken noodle soup, let them cool down before popping them into an airtight container.

    Stick it in the fridge for 3-4 days.

    What to freeze it? Cool it down, find a freezer-safe container, and pop it in there for up to 3 months.

    Thaw it out overnight when you're ready to dive back in. If it's a bit to thick, add some chicken stock or water to loosen things up.

    Serving

    Make it fancy with some freshly chopped herbs like parsley, chives, or cilantro on top.

    Grab some toasted bread or crackers to dip alongside.

    Sprinkle on some shredded cheese, crispy fried onions, or a dollop of sour cream.

    FAQ

    Can I use fresh chicken instead of rotisserie chicken?

    Just cook up some chicken on the side, shred it into small pieces, and toss it into the soup.

    Can I make this in a crock pot?

    Absolutely! Throw all the ingredients in there (except the noodles), and let it go low and slow for 6-8 hours, or speed things up on high for 3-4 hours. Toss the noodles in for the final 30 minutes.

    Can I prep this in advance?

    Make it as directed, pop it in the fridge for up to 3-4 days, and warm it up when it's time to serve. Add extra stock or water if it needs some loosening up.
