Ingredients for Crack Chicken Noodle Soup:
2 tbsp olive oil (or butter)
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups chicken broth (low-sodium if preferred)
2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great!)
1 1/2 cups medium egg noodles (or any pasta of your choice)
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, cubed
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 packet ranch seasoning mix (or homemade ranch seasoning)
1/2 cup heavy cream (or milk for a lighter version)
4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled (optional, but recommended!)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Chopped parsley or green onions, for garnish (optional)
Directions:
1. Sauté the Aromatics:
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
2. Add the Broth and Chicken:
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Add the shredded chicken and stir to combine. You can use leftover rotisserie chicken, or quickly cook chicken breasts or thighs on the stovetop before shredding them.
Bring the soup to a gentle boil and then lower the heat to a simmer.
