Description

A nostalgic and creamy comfort food dish made with egg noodles, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and a few pantry staples. Perfect as a cozy side or a simple main meal.


Ingredients

12 oz wide egg noodles

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 cup milk

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and black pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)


Instructions

  1. Cook the egg noodles according to the package directions until just al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
  3. Stir in the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and milk until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  4. Add the garlic powder and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  5. Return the cooked noodles to the pot and gently fold them into the sauce until fully coated.
  6. Let everything warm through for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

Stir in cooked chicken for a more filling dish.

Mix in shredded cheddar or Parmesan for extra richness.

Use cream of mushroom or celery soup for a different flavor profile.

Add red pepper flakes or hot sauce for some spice.

Fold in veggies like peas, mushrooms, or broccoli for a heartier vegetarian version.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Add a splash of milk when reheating to keep the sauce creamy.
