Ingredients

  • 1 cup carrots diced
  • 1 cup celery diced
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 pack 250g of cream cheese, all softened up
  • 1 cup egg noodles angel hair pasta
  • 2 cups shredded store-bought rotisserie chicken
  • ½ cup ranch dressing
  • 1 cup half and half
  • ½ cup bacon cooked and crumbled
  • black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley to garnish optional

Instructions

  • Get a large pot heated up over medium-high heat. Pour in that olive oil, and toss in the chopped celery and carrots. Sauté until they're soft.
  • Time to add the chicken stock, and toss in the softened cream cheese and those skinny egg noodles. Stir until the cream cheese has melted.
  • Toss in the torn-up rotisserie chicken, ranch dressing, and half and half. Give it all a gentle stir to combine everything.
  • Let it cook for about 5 minutes, then toss in the crumbled bacon. Because everything's better with bacon.
  • Ladle that homemade chicken noodle soup into bowls.

Notes

  • 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.
