Chicken Alfredo Soup

[heart_this] · Apr 8, 2024 · 2 Comments

Chicken Alfredo Soup

Chicken noodle soup with a creamy alfredo style broth!

This recipe is the simple combination of two of my favourite meals, chicken noodle soup and alfredo pasta! The basic idea is to take a chicken noodle soup recipe and make the alfredo style sauce in the broth. A traditional alfredo sauce is the combination of butter and parmesan with a common, non-traditional, ingredient of cream. This recipe starts out by cooking the veggies in butter before adding flour to help thicken the broth. The chicken and pasta are added and cooked before adding cream and cheese. I like a nice garlicky alfredo sauce so I include plenty of garlic in this recipe! Everything comes together in no time at all making this perfect meal, even on busy nights! (To make it even easier, you can use precooked chicken and a jar of store bought alfredo sauce.)
