Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (about 1 oz)
  • 2 cups egg noodles
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 2 cups milk (or heavy cream for a richer soup)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the Onion and Garlic: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  2. Add Broth and Chicken: Pour in the chicken broth, then add the chicken breasts. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked.
  3. Shred the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.
  4. Make the Creamy Base: Add the cream cheese, ranch seasoning, and milk (or heavy cream) to the soup. Stir until the cream cheese is melted and smooth.
  5. Add the Noodles and Cheese: Add the egg noodles and let the soup simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender. Stir in the cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.
  6. Add Bacon and Season: Stir in the crumbled bacon. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, substitute the cream cheese with low-fat cream cheese and use milk instead of heavy cream.
  • You can use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken for a quicker option; simply add it with the cheese and noodles.
