# Ingredients:
For the noodles
01 -
6 cups (1.4 L) low-sodium chicken broth
02 -
1 tablespoon chicken bouillon base or 2 bouillon cubes
03 -
16 oz (450 g) wide egg noodles
04 -
1 can (10.5 oz / 298 g) condensed cream of chicken soup
05 -
8 tablespoons (113 g) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
06 -
1/2 cup (45 g) grated parmesan cheese
07 -
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste
08 -
Salt, to taste if needed
09 -
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
# Instructions:
01 -
Add the chicken broth and bouillon to a large Dutch oven or deep pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the bouillon dissolves.
02 -
Stir in the egg noodles. Bring the pot back to a boil and stir a few times so the noodles do not stick together.
03 -
Add the condensed cream of chicken soup and stir until it blends into the broth. Boil gently for 3 minutes.
04 -
Turn off the heat. Add the butter and black pepper, then stir until the butter melts into the hot noodles.
05 -
Cover the pot and let the noodles sit off the heat for 15-18 minutes, stirring once or twice, until most of the liquid is absorbed and the noodles are tender.
06 -
Stir in the parmesan cheese. Taste and add salt only if needed. Garnish with parsley and serve warm, loosening with a splash of hot broth if needed.
# Good to know:
01 -
Best served hot right after the covered rest.
02 -
Add cooked shredded chicken to turn it into a main dish.
03 -
Use low-sodium broth for better control over salt.
