Instructions
Creating this delightful Crack Chicken Noodle Soup is straightforward when you follow these easy steps:
1. Cook the Chicken: In a large pot, place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts and cover with chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook uncovered for 20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
2. Shred the Chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pot. Shred it with two forks and set aside.
3. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same large pot, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent.
4. Combine Ingredients: Add back the shredded chicken, mixed vegetables, and Italian seasoning to the pot. Stir well to combine.
5. Add Broth and Cream: Pour in the heavy cream and add additional chicken broth if needed to reach desired consistency. Bring to a simmer.
6. Cook the Noodles: Add the egg noodles to the pot and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 7-10 minutes, or until al dente.
7. Incorporate Cream Cheese: Add the cream cheese to the soup and stir well until fully melted and incorporated. This creates a rich and creamy texture.
8. Season: Taste the soup and add salt and pepper as needed.
9. Serve: Once everything is hot and well-mixed, remove from heat.
