Tips for making the best cheesy chicken noodle soup:
-
- More cheese please! cream cheese and shredded cheese make this soup an epic comfort food situation! If you’d like to experiment with other favorite cheeses, I think that’d be fun too.
-
- Leftover shredded chicken or perhaps a rotisserie chicken is great to use for this idea. You can use egg noodles or any noodles, but we really enjoyed using thin spaghetti. So delicious!
-
- You can, of course, use broth, but in a pinch sub in water and bouillon. I enjoy Better Than Bouillon as I think it tastes yummier than traditional bouillon cubes!
-
- Make your own Italian dressing seasoning using this easy recipe if you don’t want to buy one.

Turn temperature back up to medium and let soup simmer for about 20 minutes until carrots are tender.

Add spaghetti noodles and shredded cheese, and simmer until noodles are cooked and the soup thickens, about 15 minutes. (Note: I was concerned the soup wasn't thickening, but let the noodles soak, and it will thicken.)
