Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup

This is a Soup-er easy recipe to make.  Comes together really quickly and guess what you use for the ‘cream’?  A can of evaporated milk!  Clever, clever!  The beauty of this is that your soup will never curdle or get grainy like some cream soups do and as an added bonus store bought Rotisserie chicken or turkey work great!

I’ve been making this soup for over 10 years and when I went into my blog to get the recipe I couldn’t believe I had never shared it!  (I actually use my blog for recipes a lot…why not?  They are all my faves!).

Hey there’s a potato in my soup!  Yup, potatoes and noodles…whats not to love!   The potato gives it an almost chowder type consistency that makes for a hearty dinner.  I use  “No Yolk Egg Dumplings” for the noodles.  They don’t get mushy and will hold up when you reheat for dinner the next day and lunch the day after that…the soup that keeps on giving!
