Description
A delightful twist on classic chicken noodle soup, this creamy, comforting dish combines tender chicken, crispy bacon, and a symphony of flavors perfect for cold nights.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great for convenience)
- 1 can condensed chicken soup (10.5 oz.)
- 6 cups low-sodium chicken stock
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup chopped celery
- 2 medium carrots (sliced)
- 1 packet ranch dressing mix (1 oz.)
- 12 slices thick-cut bacon (cooked and crumbled)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mild cheddar cheese
- 3/4 cup cream cheese (softened)
- 8 oz. Thin Spaghetti or Angel Hair (uncooked)
Instructions
- Fry the bacon in a large Dutch oven over medium heat until it turns crispy and golden.
- Mix the cooked bacon, chicken, condensed soup, chicken stock, milk, cream cheese, carrots, celery, and ranch dressing in the same pot. Stir until well blended and creamy.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes.
- Stir in the uncooked noodles and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Simmer until the noodles are tender.
- Serve hot, and top with extra crumbled bacon if desired.
Notes
For a thicker soup, add more cream cheese or reduce the chicken stock. Fresh herbs like thyme or parsley can enhance flavor.
