Ingredients
  

  • 1 quart chicken broth, low sodium or unsalted
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules or paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 8 ounces egg noodles, (wide )
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup, (10.5 ounces)
  • 1/4 cup evaporated milk, optional (or heavy cream)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped chives

Instructions

  • Cook the Noodles: In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the chicken broth and bouillon to a boil. Add the noodles and cook according to the package directions or until tender.
  • Finish the Dish: Add the butter, soup, evaporated milk (if using), and pepper to the noodles and stir to blend. Bring to a simmer over low heat and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. The bouillon, broth, and condensed soup should add enough saltiness, but taste the noodles before serving and adjust if necessary. Stir in the parsley and chives (if using).
  • Serve and Enjoy: Serve hot as a side dish or main lunch or dinner dish.
